Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran teaser gives a glimpse into 1998's historic events that made India a nuclear state

John Abraham’s _Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran_ , which has been facing repeated delays owing to numerous reasons, will finally see the light of the day on 25 May. The makers released the teaser on Thursday in order to kick-start the promotions.

Boman Irani’s narration then takes us to a secret mission that did not make it to the history textbooks but shook the world with its magnitude. Thus, the teaser is reminiscent of _The Ghazi Attack_ that also explored an unwritten historical milestone involving unsung heroes. Then the teaser moves on to rushes of John Abraham, Diana Penty and dozens of their associates who look like men (and women) on a mission. The story chronicles the 1998 nuclear tests that the Indian government carried out in Pokran, Rajasthan that allowed India to declare itself a nuclear state. Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran is directed by Abhishek Sharma and co-produced by JA Entertainment and KriArj Entertainment. It will clash with Vikramaditya Motwane’s _Bhavesh Joshi Superhero_ , starring Harshvardhan Kapoor, at the box office on 25 May.
