'Operation Safed Sagar' Cast on Kargil, Indian Air Force & Bringing Real Heroes to Life
When India remembers the Kargil War, the focus is often on the battles fought on the mountains. But victory was also forged in the skies. Operation Safed Sagar was the Indian Air Force's historic air campaign during the 1999 Kargil War, with fighter pilots flying combat missions at altitudes of nearly 18,000 feet under the extraordinary restriction of not crossing the Line of Control. As India marks the 27th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, NDTV's Arun Singh travels to Nashik Air Force Station for an exclusive conversation with the cast of Netflix's Operation Safed Sagar. The cast speaks about portraying real Indian Air Force officers, filming at operational Air Force locations, working with veterans, the responsibility of telling a true story, and why this chapter of the Kargil War deserves to be remembered.
