During that time, more than 80 youths left the temptations of fundamentalists and the greed of the neighboring country and chose the path of peace, for which we give full credit to their mothers.When we asked Dhillon sahab about the title of this documentary, I give full credit to it. A report on this operation was published in PTI, the title of which had ‘Operation Maa’ written in it. We all liked it and we adopted the title.Colonel Dhillon said that our goal in this operation was to bring the misguided young generation back to their mothers by any means. We know that no weapon can compete with the power of mother’s love and in Islam, mother has been given the status of heaven, and our film depicts this feeling very well.In 10 director Aditya Pitti said, “‘Operation Maa’ reflects the values of unity, compassion and hope that lie at the core of our freedom.” Samar Khan of DocuBay said, “We shot for about four months on real locations in the harsh winter after extensive research on this story related to the conscience of the nation, with the cooperation of the people of the valley.” He added, “The valley is an integral part of India and every son here deserves to return home. “Operation Maa” will premiere exclusively on DocuBay on August 27.
