An unmanned helicopter that Ranchodas Shamaldas Chanchad aka Phunsukh Wangdufixes repairs in the track 'All Is Well' has been adopted as an anti-terror device.
The Border Security Force (BSF) and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have started to use the machine in their counter-insurgency operations.
The helicopter in the Vidhu Vinod Chopra production is the same as the one built by Idea-Forge, a company established by three IIT-Bombay alumni.
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has collaborated with Idea-Forge to refine the unmanned vehicle, naming it Netra.
The project became a recent hit in China two years after its 2009 worldwide release.
Khan's film was also screened at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
