Saif will essay the role of a soldier in Bose’s troupe. This web series will have nine to 10 episodes and will also cover aspects such as women soldiers' involvement in the INA. The screenplay is ready, and the film's scale is being touted as grander than any of Kabir Khan's feature films.
It is said that Kabir was toying with the idea from his documentary days and finally things are taking shape.
Tubelight Director Kabir Khan
Interestingly, Kabir Khan's first project ever was also titled The Forgotten Army. This documentary explored the war times of the INA. It won the Grand Jury Award at the South Asian Film Festival in Kathmandu in 1998.
Meanwhile, Kabir is gearing up for the release of Salman Khan-starrer Tubelight, which tells the story of an Indian man falling in love with a Chinese girl during the 1962 Indo-Chinese war. Written by Neelesh Misra, the film is being produced by Salman Khan and Kabir Khan. The basic plot of Tubelight has been taken from a Hollywood film, A Little Boy (2015). Director Kabir Khan disclosed this fact at the special preview of the film’s first song, Radio.

On the other hand, Saif Ali Khan has two releases this year. The first being Chef-- the official Hindi remake of the eponymous Hollywood hit. The other is Baazaar where the Nawab of Pataudi will be seen as a sophisticated entrepreneur with shades of grey.
Coming back to The Forgotten Army, the web series will mark the second collaboration between Kabir and Saif after Phantom (2015).
