Reportedly, the actress regrets the situation but due to a 'massive date issue', she decided to opt-out of Bhuj. A trade source in an interview to a leading media publication revealed that the Namaste England actress was really excited to be a part of the project but she is unable to carve out dates for the Ajay Devgn starrer
As per media reports, the patriotic film will be directed by Abhishek Dudhaiya and will be jointly produced by Ginny Khanuja, Vajir Singh, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Abhishek Dudhaiya. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed the same in a Twitter post
About the film:
The film stars Ajay Devgn as the lead who will be seen essaying the role Squadron Leader Vijay Karnik who was in-charge of Bhuj airbase during the 1971 war, which remained operational despite facing heavy bombing from Pakistan. Accompanied by 50 air force and 60 defence security personnel, he reconstructed the IAF airstrip at Bhuj. The team convinced around 300 women from a nearby village to help them rebuild the airstrip so that a flight carrying Indian Army officers could land safely.
Bringing back this heroic tale to life, the film also stars Parineeti Chopra who will play the 'femme fatale' Heena Rehman.
On the other hand, Sonakshi Sinha will portray social worker Sunderben Jetha Madhaparya, Sanjay Dutt will be seen as civilian Ranchordas Svabhai Ravari, Rana Daggubati playing Madras regiment lieutenant colonel and Ammy Virk as a fighter pilot. Bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar, the film will hit the theatres next year on August 14.
