Bunty Walia had plans to make a film on the battle of Saragarhi with Sanjay Dutt but the ongoing recession has put the Rs. 200 crore budgeted film on hold.

Bunty Walia has plans to make the film but right now the time is just not right to put in something as huge as 200 crore on a film.

The industry is facing recession and the film requires a lot of man power and money. "But I don't want to make any compromises and will definitely make the film with Sanjay Dutt in the lead and also get in 20 other big names.

Even the director will remain the same that is Rohit Jugraj. I think it will take me another 6-7 months to go ahead with it. But yes as of now the film plans are on hold." Walia has stated.

Walia is known to be amongst Dutt's best pals, further added, "Sanjay Dutt too wants to do this film as he is the co-producer of the film.

But right now he is managing his work and also planning his political strategy for his Lok Sabha elections so for the time being things are on hold.

The shooting will be in Morocco as it will be the perfect location for the war which took place."

The battle of Saragarhi was fought in 1897 in the bordering areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan which was back then known as the North West Frontier Province.

Dutt was to play the Sikh regiment havaldaar called, Ishar Singh in the film which was to have 20 other main lead actors enacting the roles of 20 brave Sikhs who formed the back bone of the regiment and gave a fight till their death.
