The Syndicate Cinema at Koppam in the district will have a rare get-together of retired and serving military personnel and their families on Friday afternoon marking the premiere of Sashi Kiran Tikka’s multi-lingual film Major.
The film telling the story of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, an Army officer of the 51 Special Action Group of the National Security Guards killed in action during the 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai, will bring in many army personnel and their families from Palakkad and neighbouring districts to Koppam.
“More than the premiere of a cinema, it is going to be a unique get-together of the family and friends of the army personnel who laid down their lives for the country,” said T. Yunus, chief executive officer of Syndicate Cinema.
