India immediately responded announcing a "war-like situation" and recapturing strategic transportation routes, thus militarily surprising the original plan and pushing Pakistani forces back across the Line of Control. The Kargil war resulted following the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers and Kashmiri militants into the Indian side of the Line of Control (LOC), between the two countries. We were forced to defend ourselves on many a occasions which resulted in a few wars in the sixties. Indian in its entire history after independence have never ventured on attacking or capturing parts of Pakistan, though it was never a big thing for our forces. The shooting, which began on June 13 with a 130-member crew, was completed in 35 days. Produced by Santhosh Damodaran under the Damor Films banner, the majority of the movie was shot at actual locations in the high altitudes of Kargil and Tololang hills, with the special permission from the defense ministry. `Kurukshetra', in fact a big-budget movie, made at a whooping budget of eight crores, is an account of the filmmaker's experiences when he was fighting for India at the Kargil borders. His earlier films like `Keerti Chakra' and mission 90 days were also based on his personal experiences that he had while serving in the armed forces. Another recreation of history and on the effects of war on soldiers, `Kurukshetra' is the third venture by the former army officer Major Ravi. Hit maker Major Ravi and Mohanlal is coming up with another war saga titled 'Kurukshetra' for the season.
