Mumbai, Nov 18 (IANS) Actor Tahir Raj Bhasin has organised a special screening of his latest release "Force 2" on Sunday for 150 members of the Indian Defence forces in New Delhi.
An Air Force officer's son, Tahir feels that the film's concept and theme will resonate with Army and Air Force personnel, and he wanted to host this screening as a special gesture.
He said: "I have always been a proud defence kid. And in 'Force 2', my character is deeply patriotic at some level and has felt the pain of losing a loved one in defence of the nation's security. It's an action thriller, so I thought it's a great way to treat a few members of the defence forces with this screening."
