Many members of the military forces are preparing for the traditional Republic Day parade as Republic Day approaches. The parade practise is currently underway in the capital of the country with vigour and a sense of patriotism. In the realm of Bollywood, famous people are always promoting the idea of patriotism through their movies.
Gorkha, starring Akshay Kumar, has been delayed in the most recent development.
What is the main arc of Gorkha Story?
Major General Ian Cardozo, who was the first wartime crippled officer of the Indian Army to command a battalion and a brigade, is the subject of Aanand L Rai's produced movie "Gorkha." Due to a war injury, he is an amputee. The fearless officer is 85 years old as of this writing.
Has Gorkha been pushed back or delayed?
Producer of the movie Gorkha Aanand L Rai has revealed that technological issues are to blame for the delay. Rai stated, "There are so many technical aspects that we need to take care of before we shoot the film," in a chat with The Indian Express. We also need to improve the movie's factual accuracy. It will therefore require the time it deserves. We cannot hurry it.
Rumors that the director had a falling out with Akshay Kumar were squashed. He made it clear that Akshay Kumar would be in charge of Gorkha if it were to be produced. The Indian Express quoted Rai as saying, "If we are doing the movie, Akshay would be in it. If not, we'll go on to another project.
Earlier, several news reports said that Kumar quit the movie because the plot contained real inaccuracies.

By the director @sanjaypchauhan.
Akshay Kumar isn't playing Gorkha, right? This is what a recent news article claimed.
According to a Hindustan Times news story published two days ago, Akshay Kumar left Aanand L. Rai's movie Gorkha because there were questions about its veracity. Some veterans from the battalion that Major General Cardozo was associated with during the war got in touch, casting serious doubt on his account of the events, a source informed the publication. Since he has the utmost respect for the military, Akshay does not want to be associated with any reports that might be called into question.

Last year, Rai shared an exclusive interview with him in which he discussed Gorkha and remarked, "Films are all about emotions. We are working on Gorkha and will continue to do so until it is ready to be installed on floors. Raksha Bandhan came and went so swiftly, yet some movies take longer to make because of how we want them to.
The director continued by saying that the movie will begin production as soon as the complete script has been finalised and approved by all parties involved. We won't start shooting the movie until we're confident that we have the subject completely figured out.
We are currently looking for the appropriate bound script, Aanand continued. We use that procedure for each of our films.
