Neerja
The 2016 biographical film is directed by Ram Madhvani. The film features Sonam Kapoor, Yogendra Tiku, Shabana Azmi in the lead roles. The plot of the movie is centred around a real-life story. It is based on the hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi, Pakistan. Sonam Kapoor even shared a post regarding this after the film completed four years.
Portraying a young girl from Bombay who saved the lives of the 359 passengers on-board Pan AM Flight 73 was not only challenging but also a great honor. As the movie completes its 4th anniversary, I would want people to recall how fear gave courage to the young Neerja Bhanot. pic.twitter.com/xzqzVj3fKY
