He wanted to direct a short based on the book until Daggubati heard about the project and helped him flesh it out as a feature, including the hiring of a CGI team, director of photography Madhie and editor Sreekar Prasad. Reddy, who had made just one short film, wrote a book about the confrontation entitled Blue Fish: The War Beneath. To ensure total authenticity, the film was shot on the sets of two large submarines which were identical to those deployed in the 1971 war, and there were a lot of underwater sequences. Pannu is a Bangladeshi refugee who is rescued by the S21. Kulkarni is executive officer Devraj, who tries to keep the peace between the officers. Tension erupts between the hot-headed Singh, who wants to torpedo the Pakistani submarine Ghazi before it destroys the aircraft-carrier Vikrant, and Varma, who is under orders to avoid provoking a war. Daggubati is Lieutenant-Commander Arjun Varma and Kay Kay Menon is Captain Ranvijay Singh.
The Ghazi Attack opens just before the Indian-Pakistan war breaks out in 1971 when the Indian Navy dispatches submarine S21 on a secret mission. It's shaping as a crowded weekend in India with a slew of new titles including Amit Roy's rom-com Running Shaadi (which stars Amit Sadh, Taapsee Pannu and newcomer Arsh Bajwa), Aparnaa Singh’s eco-thriller Irada (Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi, Divya Dutta and Sharad Kelkar) and Hollywood imports John Wick: Chapter 2, The Lego Batman Movie, Hidden Figures, Fences and Moonlight. In the U.S., the film has raked in more than $1 million on 173 screens. That will be Kumar’s seventh title in the 100-crore-plus club, equaling Shah Rukh Khan’s record.
