Bollywood is to make a movie on the "true story" of Indian air strikes on Pakistan this year, its producer said Friday, the latest 'patriotic' film to hit the silver screen.

India claimed that in the raid, its aircraft successfully attacked a 'training camp' at Balakot and killed "a very large number" of "terrorists", but legitimate doubts have been raised about its efficacy. The new movie is set to be produced by Vivek Oberoi, who starred in a flattering biopic of PM Narendra Modi, the release of which was delayed so as not to interfere with this year's election.
