MUMBAI: Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra has celebrated 25 years of his action thriller film “Mission Kashmir” starring Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt and Preity Zinta.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra Films took to their Instagram account, where he shared a carousel of images featuring him, Hrithik, Preity, Sanjay, Jackie Shroff and Sonali Kulkarni from the sets of his 2000 film. The carousel had the track “Rind Posh Maal” playing in the background.
“Revisit the timeless love of Altaaf and Sufiya… Their bond in Mission Kashmir taught us that even in deep sorrow, love is the ultimate mission worth fighting for. Celebrating 25 years of #MissionKashmir.”
The film is set against the backdrop of conflict in Kashmir and explores themes of terrorism, revenge, and the psychological trauma of children affected by war.
The film follows Altaaf Khan, a young boy whose family is accidentally killed during a police operation led by Inayat Khan, the very officer who later adopts him. Upon learning the truth, Altaaf escapes and is radicalized into terrorism, returning years later with a mission that brings him into direct conflict with his past.
