Gurmeet Choudhary joins JP Dutta's 'Paltan'

Veteran filmmaker JP Dutta has signed actor Gurmeet Choudhary for his next project, war drama "Paltan".

Gurmeet will be playing the role of an army officer.

"It's a huge honour to work with JP sir. Since my father has served the army and his country for several years, I've been fascinated to play a soldier on the big screen.

"Also I feel bringing the life of an army soldier alive on screen would be a very interesting journey. It's a gift to my father," Gurmeet said.

The film will go on the floors later this year.
