Trivial Pursuit 85









Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre’s book ‘Freedom At Midnight’, mentions a story on a World War II veteran.

Gurdaas Maan read the story and got so impressed, that he decided to make a film on it.










He thus produced the movie "Shaheed-e-Mohabbat Boota Singh“. Unfortunately, the movie, despite being watchable, sank without a trace.

However, another person saw some potential in it, and decided to revive it into another project.


What resulted ?
