Producers Ramon Chibb and Anku Pande of Manomay Motion Pictures have acquired the rights to make a biopic on Late Col Narinder ‘Bull’ Kumar.

“We are elated as a team to be the ones to bring this extremely amazing story of heroism and true leadership to the screens soon. We are grateful to Late Colonel Narinder “Bull” Kumar’s family too trust us and give us the responsibility to retell his deeply inspiring story for celluloid and give us the opportunity to do our part forever commemorating his life into a film reel.

“We currently have interest from several studios and look forward to kick start this project and let the world know the heroic story of an unfathomably brave, adventurous, and true patriot,” Chibb, an ex-army officer who is from the same regiment as Bull Kumar, said in a statement.

In 1981, this soldier and his team lay claim to the highest peaks at altitudes beyond 24,000 feet and proudly planted the Indian tri-color there.

According to a press statement, the movie is an untold story of true leadership, guts, and glory. This is a story of a battle against the harshest enemy of all – mother nature, against whom the strongest have often succumbed. A story of a strong-willed, determined army officer who refused to give up – “Jo Karna hai so Karna hai” was Bull Kumar’s motto.

The film will be written by Balwinder Singh Janjua.

Chibb has previously directed big-ticket armed forces shows for the National Geographic Channel and is the Creative Consultant for all things related to the army for Aamir Khan’s latest in production ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. He has also written the Story and Screenplay for ‘Fighter’ the recently announced Siddharth Anand action film starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone.
