When I started my acting career I met JP sir and introduced myself. later in 2008 he called me and told me one day for sure he will get in touch with me for a film and it finally happened after 10 years. I told him this when shooting in Ladakh that only he has the right to make army films."

Reports suggested that Gurmeet took training from his father for the film, when asked about it he said, "Dad used to give training to young army offers when we lived in MP. I used to watch him and also trained with him once in a while. When I signed Paltan Dad was here only and he shared his learning and experience with me that he had learned for ,many years int he army."

I am very proud to be a part of this and i just cant wait for the audience to see. A lot more of war films need to be made because that feeling of patriotism is above everything and makes me feel very proud."
