New Delhi, Aug 3 (UNI) Actor Gurmeet Choudhary, who will be seen playing an army officer in ‘Paltan’, got emotional at the trailer launch of the war drama and said he is lucky to work with J P Dutta sir.

Reminiscing about his father, he said, “My father just got retired from the Army. He always wanted me to be a soldier but I choose to become an actor. He didn’t speak to me for three years because of that.”

“I am quite lucky that I got the opportunity to work with J P Dutta sir. With ‘Paltan’, I could fulfill a small bit of his dream,” Gurmeet said.

Interestingly, the talented actor who is looking every bit of his character – army soldier in the movie, got quite emotional talking about his father, who served Indian Army at the trailer launch on Thursday.

‘Paltan’ is quite special to Gurmeet, not just because he got the opportunity to work with the veteran filmmaker for the first time but also the fact that he got trained by his father, Major Sitaram Choudhary for his character of an Army officer in the movie.
