The trailer for Runway 34, starring Ajay Devgn, Amitabh Bachchan, and Rakul Preet Singh, recently released.
The movie is based on the real story of the 2015 Jet Airways Doha-Kochi flight that had a narrow escape after facing troubles due to unclear visibility. The trailer shows Ajay Devgn as a pilot who is being investigated for a threatening landing, and Amitabh Bachchan as an investigating officer.
It depicts the of thrilling ride of a 150-passenger aircraft suspended in mid-air more than 35,000 feet above the ground. The airplane is piloted by Ajay and Rakul’s characters, who are having issues landing their flight due to heavy rain and poor visibility.
Captain Vikrant Khanna, played by Ajay, is a rogue pilot who exaggerates his flying abilities. However, a terrible event alters everything. Following then, we see Amitabh Bachchan as Narayan Vedant on his journey to discover the truth about this aircraft and his tumultuous encounter with Vikrant.
‘Mayday’ was the original title of the picture. Ajay Devgn directed and produced the film, Runway 34. Kumar Mangat Pathak, Vikrant Sharma, Sandeep Harish Kewlani, Tarlok Singh Jethi, Hasnain Husaini, and Jay Kanujia are also the co-producers.
When Ajay Devgn decides to make a film, he says he looks for tough subjects that he is interested in. Ajay made his directorial debut with the drama ‘U Me Aur Hum’ in 2008, and followed it up with the action film Shivaay in 2016. The actor is presently waiting for the release of Runway 34, his third directorial effort.
Ajay said he was attracted by the story when writers Sandeep Kewlani and Aamil Keeyan Khan approached him more than two years ago during the film’s trailer launch on Monday.
The actor explained that he first joined the film as a director before deciding to also star in it. He eventually chose to invest in the project through his production company, Ajay Devgn FFilms.
Ajay stated that he was positive that Amitabh would be cast in the film and that he had no other options. “I don’t know if I would have been able to cast Mr Bachchan’s role in this picture if he hadn’t agreed (any other actor). I don’t believe I’d be making the movie “he stated.
Aakanksha Singh and Angira Dhar will also play pivotal roles in the film. CarryMinati (Ajey Nagar), a YouTuber, makes his Bollywood debut on Runway 34.
