Commemorating his life, producers Ramon Chibb and Anku Pande of Manomay Motion Pictures have acquired the rights to retell his incredible story on celluloid. BULL - The movie on Late Col Narinder ‘Bull Kumar’, is an untold story of true leadership, guts and glory. This is a story of a battle against the harshest enemy of all – mother nature, against whom the strongest have often succumbed. A story of a strong-willed, determined army officer who refused to give up - “Jo karna hai So karna hai” was Bull Kumar’s motto.
In 1981, this soldier and his team lay claim to the highest peaks at altitudes beyond 24,000 feet and proudly planted the Indian tri-colour there. They did this without any maps or high-tech equipment - their boots were not waterproof, and their jackets were not made of down feather. They had to navigate tricky crevasses and stay ahead of avalanches while braving temperatures that dipped to a numbing -50 degrees Celsius. The “reconnaissance” mission was not an official army operation. That meant that if Bull Kumar and his band of brothers were to fall into enemy hands, no one would claim them.
