The Ministry of Defence reviewed and turned down 15 Pulwama scripts prior to Operation Valentine.

In the entertainment industry, filmmakers have the freedom to be creative, but when it comes to real events, especially involving the Indian Defense system, they must make sure to get all the necessary permissions. This is because the Ministry of Defence has strict rules in place to protect the sensitivity of such matters.

One recent example of this was Operation Valentine, a film starring Varun Tej and Manushi Chhillar, which delves into the Indian Air Force's role in the Balakot airstrike following the 2019 Pulwama attack. The Ministry of Defence rejected 15 scripts related to the Pulwama attack before finally approving the script for Operation Valentine.

Thankfully, the Ministry of Defence was impressed by the quality of the script and the realistic approach of the filmmakers behind Operation Valentine. They even granted permission for the film to be shot at a highly secured Air Force base in Gwalior, showing their support for the project. It's a great example of how collaboration and compliance can lead to a successful and impactful movie.
