Shahid Kapoor is the latest addition to the long list of actors who are going to play real life war heroes in their upcoming films. The actor is going to portray Brigadier Farouk Bulsara in a film titled 'Bull'. He is going to collaborate with Bhushan Kumar's T-Series on this project. The film will be set in 80s during the events of 1988 Maldives coup d'etat attempt.

Shahid is super excited to play a paratrooper in this film. He said in a statement, "Bull is a full-blown action film inspired by real events from the life of Brigadier Bulsara. It is a privilege to play a paratrooper who leads his boys through a historic and selfless mission that has now become iconic for its precision and bravado. The opportunity to play a paratrooper is exhilarating and truly an honour."

War based stories have become a popular sub genre in Bollywood these days. Captain Vikram Batra's biopic 'Shershah' was released recently and Akshay Kumar also announced 'Gorkha' on the life of Major General Ian Cardozo. Apart from that Ishaan Khattar and Varun Dhawan also have military biopics under production.
