'Satellite Shankar' trailer: Sooraj Pancholi as an army officer is on a path of self-discovery

After four years, Sooraj Pancholi is set to be back on the big screen with his second film. After making his debut with Hero in 2015, Sooraj will next be seen in Satellite Shankar in which he plays the role of an Indian army officer. Today, the makers of the film unveiled the trailer and it looks decent. In the trailer, we see Sooraj as a happy go lucky soldier who is liked by his troupe. He has a small figurine of Lord Shiva which he carries everywhere.

The trailer shows how Shankar travels from Kashmir to Pollachi where he actually belongs. Satellite Shankar has been shot in 10 different places in the country including Himachal Pradesh and Agra as well. The trailer also shows glimpses of the female lead Megha Akash who is making her Bollywood debut. Satellite Shankar also shows how our country gets united for one soldier who is on a path of self-discovery.

Check out the trailer below:

Satellite Shankar is directed by Irfan Kamal and produced by Murad Khetani, Ashwin Varde and SCIPL. Talking about the film, Sooraj told The Times of India, "I have always wanted to play a soldier in a classic war or an action film. But this is not a war film, it’s not an action film, it’s a drama. The movie is about the life of every soldier – of what they see and feel in personal life."

He added, "It’s not about a soldier’s life at the base camp. It is about a soldier, who is on leave and is going to meet his mother. It’s what he faces through the journey while travelling through India. So, it is looking at India from a soldier’s point of view."

The film is slated to release on November 15, 2019.
