The Story in Brief
Jimmy Shergill, who stars as an IAF pilot in the recently released web series ‘Operation Safed Sagar’, said real-life Air Force officers taught him humility. The show has been praised for portraying armed forces heroism without jingoism or chest-thumping. Shergill credited the authenticity to the officers the team met while preparing. He said meeting heroes who sacrificed for the country and seeing how humble and simple they were guided the performances. The makers wanted the show as real as possible, he added.
The Indian Opinion
The chest-thumping soldier trope sells tickets, but Jimmy Shergill’s point about cinema needing variety is fair. Labelling quiet competence as 'non-masculine' is a false binary. Real grit has many faces. The test is whether Operation Safed Sagar’s understated honour can hold its own at the box office against the next mass-entertainer.
