"Always Had Someone From Air Force Team To Guide Me," Manushi Chhillar On Playing a Radar Officer in Operation Valentine

Manushi Chhillar will be seen playing the role of a radar officer in the aerial action drama Operation Valentine. The Sony Pictures Production, starring Varun Tej in the lead, will be released in cinemas on March 1, 2024. But before that, the lead actress shared that she had to go through a lot of preps for the character, but what's interesting is that she always had some from the Air Force team to guide her on the sets.

Manushi Chhillar shared, "My preparations for Operation Valentine included a lot of basics just to simply understand the structure of the Air Force, understand what a radar officer is supposed to do, and basic things like body language, the tonality of your voice, and how to give a certain command. These are the few things that I had to work on.""Fortunately, we had someone from the Indian Air Force team on set. So, I always had that guidance on the sets whenever we needed any extra information or wherever I was going away from how a normal radar officer would do a certain thing. So, it was learning a lot of basics," she added.

Manushi further said, "It was not just learning how to portray a radar officer, but also learning the things that happen in the Air Force, or what basic terms like an evacuation and the kind of planes that are flying. So, just understanding all of that was a completely new world. I am a DRDO kid, so obviously, I know things from the surface, but this was me going deep into it."
