Recently filmmaker Ajay Kapoor announced his ambitious project Garud. The film depicts the heartbreaking story of the Afghan rescue crisis. He along with Subhash Kale want to leave no stone unturned to make the film as exciting as possible and give it the best treatment. Thus the duo have brought on board international director Rotem Shamir to helm the film. 

Speaking about Garud, Kapoor said, “Garud' is a huge project for me, I'm emotionally driven to the film and want to give it the best treatment possible. Rotem Shamir is a renowned filmmaker and has a great experience in the sensibilities that we are looking at for 'Garud'. Rotem Shamir and I are planning various projects together as a team. Being from Israel and having made a show about the conditions of hostages, the understanding and vision he possesses will definitely help us. We wanted someone to grasp the emotional quotient as well as cater to the international sensibilities as the subject has a universal appeal.”

Rotem added, “Garud' is a very exciting film, while it is focused on the Indian aspect of the story, it has a universal appeal that promises to connect with people all across. I have been fascinated with the content from the Indian entertainment industry for a long time, hence when Ajay Kapoor brought this film to me, I knew I had to take it. Especially looking forward to working with Ajay Kapoor, who has been associated with so many varied films, I am really excited for the long term association with Ajay Kapoor.” The cast of the film will be announced soon.
