'Tejas': Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli had tears seeing look; shares their intense chat
As the first look of 'Tejas' showcased Kangana Ranaut as an IAF pilot, Rangoli said she had tears seeing her look. She shared their intense chat over the look.
War films have been a regular feature in Bollywood, but most of them have involved Army men over the years. In a break from the norm, now not one, but three films based on the Air Force are now gearing up for release. After looks of Janhvi Kapoor as Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and Ajay Devgn in Bhuj: The Pride of India as pilots made headlines, Kangana Ranaut is also set to play the role in Tejas.
The first look of Kangana as an IAF pilot, dressed in the gear, as she walked out of the aircraft, became a talking point on social media. One netizen praised the actor for her look but sharing a collage alongside a snap of the real IAF pilots, wrote how Kangana could not match to them as their ‘breed is different.’
Rangoli reacted to the post and shared an emotional anecdote. She revealed how she had tears in her eyes and felt it was a ‘dream come true’ when she saw Kangana in her look. The three-time National Award winner laughed over it and asked if her sister thought she was going to become a real soldier.
Kangana then told Rangoli that the difference between her and the real pilots was similar to the difference between the blood shed by the soldiers at the border and the fake blood used by filmmakers to film such scenes. Rangoli revealed how Kangana did not intend a ‘patch on real fighters’, but that it was only an attempt to get closer to them.
Here are the tweets:
Tejas is being directed by Sarvesh Mewara. The movie is being produced by veteran producer Ronnie Screwvala, who had also backed the National Award-winning Uri: The Surgical Strike. Tejas is scheduled to hit the screens in April 2021.
