趣闻

Picket 43 is a 2015 Indian Malayalam-language anti-war film written and directed by Major Ravi, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Javed Jaffrey. The story centers on Harindran Nair, an Indian Army havildar stationed at a remote picket along the Line of Control, where he forms an unlikely yet profound friendship with Mushraff Khan, a soldier from the Pakistan Army stationed behind enemy lines.

Production

Initially, Ravi developed the film with Mohanlal in the lead role as the next installment in the Major Mahadevan film series. However, Mohanlal felt the character was not suited to his age and recommended casting a younger actor. He was also uncertain about how a lower-ranking Havildar Mahadevan would align with the series. Ultimately, he suggested Prithviraj Sukumaran for the role.

Prithviraj joined the film's shooting in Kashmir in March 2014. Home portions of the film was shot in Ottappalam, Kerala. The film was shot over three to four seasons in Jammu and Kashmir. During filming, Major Mukund Varadarajan, who was assisting the crew, was killed in combat in the Shopian area. Protection for the team was provided by army friends of Ravi, himself a retired Major. Ravi dedicated Picket 43 as a tribute to Major Varadarajan.
