Rajvir Jawanda as ‘Bahadur Singh’ in upcoming film ‘Subedar Joginder Singh’ will set the acting benchmark high!
Numerous soldiers smilingly sacrifice their lives to the keep sovereignty of the nation intact. Glorious tributes are paid to some, whereas others, who, while rendering their exceptional service to the nation, attained martyrdom get lost in anonymity. One brave soul who immortalized himself by fighting three major wars for our nation is Subedar Joginder Singh. He served the British Indian Army pre-independence and later in the Indian Army. He fought for the independence of the nation, he fought to keep that independence intact and before achieving martyrdom he fought for the honor of motherland India, in 1962 during the Sino-Indian war- which India never expected owing to the long friendly ties between the 2 nations.
Subedar Joginder Singh was commanding a platoon of soldiers, who were instructed to take positions in the adversities of NEFA without any proper reinforcements. Soon after taking their positions, they faced lethal and unanticipated attacks by thousands of Chinese soldiers in three waves, who astonishingly attacked from Aksai Chin in Ladakh to Indo-Myanmar border in NEFA. It was due to the sheer mental strength that despite the exhausting ammunition and being hit by bullet on thigh, Subedar Joginder Singh kept motivating his soldiers against all odds, along with that he single handedly killed dozens of Chinese soldiers with Bayonets. For such exemplary and unprecedented display of valor, Indian Government honored him with the country’s highest wartime gallantry award – Param Vir Chakra posthumously.
The biopic of this brave war hero, which is a subject of national importance, happens to be the first ever film on a Param Vir Chakra recipient. It has been picked up by a production house named Seven Colors Motion Picture. This film has been shot in the extreme weather conditions of Kargil & Dras, Rajasthan and Assam. Major part of film has been shot at a height of 14000 feet; the terrain is so insurmountable that it took the cast and crew hours of car drive and strenuous vertical trek to reach actual shoot location.
Recently, the organization released the first look of a Punjabi singer named Rajvir Jawanda; who, after the impressing the audiences with his stunning looks and melodious voice, is now set to leave behind his footprints in the field of acting as well. He is playing the role of a Sepoy named Bahadur Singh in the film, and we must admit that he seems to have got into the skin of a soldier to nail that perfect look which has been released. Lesser known fact about this great artist is that he is a trained theatre artist, having a poetic side to his personality, has undergone a rigorous police training- which makes him look absolutely fit and energetic.
