The Saga of Rashtriya Rifles We are proud to officially announce our dream project

“The Saga of Rashtriya Rifles”, to be produced under the banner of Taha Films International, owned by Mr. Suhail Saeed Lone, and written and directed by Mr. Manzoor Ahmed.
For over four years, producer Mr. Suhail Saeed Lone devoted tireless effort and in-depth research, working side by side with his writer to shape this ambitious vision. That dedication was rewarded on 20th August 2025, when the ADGPI (Additional Directorate General of Public Information) granted its official approval for the film’s shoot.

This historic project will chronicle the extraordinary, biographical journey of the Rashtriya Rifles—from its inception to becoming one of the most elite counter-terrorism forces in the world. The film will highlight their sacrifices for the nation, their crucial role in bridging divides in Kashmir, and their far-reaching humanitarian work under Operation Sadbhavana. From building schools, medical facilities, and modern education systems, to empowering youth with skills and restoring peace by countering Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, the film will pay tribute to the joint efforts of Kashmiri people and the Rashtriya Rifles in transforming the Valley into a land of hope and progress.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the ADGPI and the Ministry of Defence for their faith in this project and for approving the script. We also sincerely thank the 15 and 16 Corps, along with Kilo Force, Victor Force, Delta Force, Romeo Force, 92 Base Hospital, and all officers and jawans of the Rashtriya Rifles, whose support has been invaluable in bringing this dream to reality.
