Filmmaker J.P. Dutta's even after twenty years of his iconic war film "Border" known with the name of this film. JP, says, "'Border' just connected with audiences. It was destiny, I guess. There were some other films that I was equally proud of like my first release 'Ghulami', then 'Hathyar' and 'Batwara'. I am also very proud of my other war film 'LOC Kargil'."

As the director is now back with another war film titled "Paltan", he says, "It was a lean patch. But I am no stranger to struggles. Right at the beginning of my career as a director my first film 'Sarhad' was shelved after extensive shooting. I thought it was the end of the world. But I was able to start another film 'Ghulami'."

About his happy moment, he says, "It was Nidhi's idea to celebrate 20 years of 'Border'.Otherwise do you think I would have ever done this on my own?"

"My daughter Nidhi did a wonderful thing that evening. She quietly handed over the trophy for my father to me. As one day, the trophy meant for me would be handed to her," he added.
