1971: Beyond Borders is an upcoming Indian war drama film written and directed by Major Ravi. It is the fourth installment in the Major Mahadevan film series, with Mohanlal reprising his role as Colonel Mahadevan and an additional father character, Major Sahadevan. It also features Allu Sirish and Arunoday Singh. The film is set in two time periods and is based on the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The film will release in Malayalam, Hindi, and Telugu languages.
Principal photography commenced on 31 October 2016 in Suratgarh, Rajasthan.
The film is set in two time periods, with Mohanlal playing both Major Mahadevan and his father Major Sahadevan. The film will also see his transition from a Major to a Colonel. The film is based on a true incident and explores the friendship and life of two army officials. Mohanlal will be appearing in his fourth film as Major Mahadevan after Keerthi Chakra (2006), Kurukshetra (2008), and Kandahar (2010). Ravi said in an interview in October 2015, unlike the previous films in the series, Beyond Borders will be more like his last military film Picket 43 (2015), that "the focus will be on the individuals rather than the war, and will portray the relationships that are forged during the war". Rahul Subramaniam, Siddharth Vipin, and Najim Arshad is composing the music for this film.
