Brigadier Mehta's book "The Burning Chaffees" is the inspiration for the film. Its name is derived from the PT-76 "Pippa," a Russian amphibious war tank.
Ishaan Khatter’s Pippa has been shot in numerous locations in Amritsar, West Bengal, Ahmednagar, and Mumbai. The filming of the film 'Pippa' began in September 2021 and the announcement of the film was made on the occasion of Vijay Diwas.
Ishaan while announcing the film wrote, "Blood sweat and tears. In the midst of shoot and it’s already one of my best filming experiences so far. We’re putting in the work to bring an honest, visceral and authentic story of bravado and sacrifice, but also comradeship and brotherhood to the big screens for you.. and lest I forget - the story of an army family navigating a war. 9th December, 2022. Mark the date ??"
