The Sharan Sharma-helmed biopic revolves around the life and the wartime efforts of Indian Air Force pilot Gunjan Saxena who, along with Srividya Rajan, became the first two Indian women fighter pilots to enter the war zone. Gunjan’s job was to save soldiers from precarious positions and bring them to safety during the Kargil War in 1999. The officer was later honoured with the Shaurya Vir Chakra.
The film, which was initially designed for the big screen, with shoots in Georgia after the location was changed because of the Kashmir situation, opted for the digital route, as movie halls have been shut for over four months due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Jahnvi Kapoor plays Gunjan Saxena and the film will be out on OTT platform on Aug 12. The film is a patriotic story and the banner feels that Independence Week was the best time for it’s release.
