The Ministry of External Affairs has asked filmmakers to submit their interest in the project by the end of this month. The film will be prepared before November 30, 2018, less than five months ahead of a national election. Filmmakers have been asked to shoot at real locations.
"(The film) should be fast-paced, engaging to watch, cohesive and creatively presented. A narration or anchor driven approach may be chosen without long monologues. Interviews of various persons evacuated, and interviews of various dignitaries to brief about the rescue mission," a document floated by the Ministry of External Affairs reads.
"Earlier when people used to talk on the humanitarian grounds, they only used to talk about Western countries. But when we were able to take 5000-6000 Indians out of Yemen, many countries requested that we take their people out of Yemen safely," Indian Prime Minister Modi said last month in an event at London's Central Hall Westminster.
