Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, now under attack from the Shiv Sena over his comments favouring Pakistani cricketers in the IPL, will soon come out with a series of short films on the extraordinary life of martyrs and gallantry award winners of paramilitary forces.The series will depict the operations, many of them taking place in the militancy-hit Jammu and Kashmir and Naxal-infested states, during which the security personnel showed exemplary courage and sometimes even sacrificed their lives.The thirty-minute films will be titled Bando Mein Hai Dum and Veerta ki Sachchi Gatha and will be produced by Khan's television production arm -- Red Chillies Idiot Box.The home ministry had asked all the para-military forces -- CRPF, CISF, ITBP, SSB, BSF, NSG and Assam Rifles -- to "examine the proposal" and prepare and collect relevant data so that it can "take a final view" on the project.According to sources, the home ministry had received the proposal last year by Red Chillies and a Delhi-based organisation 'Yuva' for making feature films on gallant para-military men in order to inspire and inform the public about their lives and sacrifices.
