He was even seen explaining the role of fitness that plays a major role in essaying the character. Apart from the coach, the video also shared a glimpse of the preparation that went behind into making of the film. The coach was seen explaining everything with the help of a PowerPoint presentation that showed all the necessary points involved behind building up Kangana’s character. Directed by Sarvesh Mewara, the film is being produced by the makers of Vicky Kaushal's Uri: The Surgical Strike.
The first look of Tejas had been announced with fanfare in February this year. Earlier, in August, the Manikarnika actress shared that she will be kickstarting the shoot of the film in December. She had then expressed her pride in being a part of the 'exhilarating story' being directed by Sarvesh Mewar. Tejas revolves around a woman fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force. Kangana Ranaut is playing the lead role in the film. It was in 2016 when IAF allowed their women officers to join combat roles by inducting three fighter pilots: Flight Lieutenants Bhawana Kanth, Avani Chaturvedi, and Mohana Singh. Tejas is inspired by this landmark event.
Earlier, in a statement, Kangana had expressed her excitement of getting roped for such a beautiful role and feels it an honour to portray it. “Tejas is an exhilarating story where I have the privilege of playing an air force pilot. I am honoured to be a part of a film that celebrates these brave men and women in uniform who make immense sacrifices in the line of duty every day. Our film celebrates the armed forces and its heroes ... Excited to take this journey with Sarvesh and Ronnie,” opined Kangana.
