When you become an actor, it is your dream to work with Amit sir. “I got an opportunity to work under Ajay sir’s direction and most importantly, I got to star alongside Amit ji. Singh, who plays co-pilot Captain Tanya in “Runway 34”, said working on the film was a great opportunity for more than one reason. I know him since my childhood, we share a good rapport. When he works with you, he inspires you to direct. No one can have his level of hard work and dedication. He is a big source of inspiration for us, the way he works. “He doesn’t let anyone around him feel nervous. While Devgn and Bachchan have previously worked together in movies like “Major Saab”, “Hindustan Ki Kasam”, and “Satyagraha”, this is the first time he has directed the 79-year-old cinema icon.ĭirecting Bachchan, Devgn said, was an inspiring experience. “Runway 34” also features megastar Amitabh Bachchan. That when there is turbulence in someone’s life how he goes through it,” he added. This story is not just about the turbulence in the air, but also on the ground. When you watch the film, you’ll come to know what troubles pilots, ATC people and even the passengers face when there’s a situation like that. “We have brought the aviation industry in a good light. While we were at home during corona, I remembered that we’d worked on the story…” The actor said the team has attempted to make an “authentic film” and also sought help from real pilots and ATC (air traffic control) personnel for training. After that I got busy and corona (pandemic) happened. I had told the writers (Sandeep Kewlani and Aamil Keeyan Khan) that I want some changes in the script. “I really liked the story when I heard it. He also responded to the reports that suggested that Devgn had initially shelved the film, saying that was never the case. He asked me if the film was based on Labour Day, so I got a bit scared,” he quipped. “A well-read person had, in fact, asked me the meaning of ‘Mayday’. Why the pilot landed the plane on that runway, something which was an impossible task and should not have happened, that is the story,” he said. The whole story of the film revolves around a runway called Runway 34. But, I think, not many people were able to understand that title. “When there’s an emergency, you give the call of ‘Mayday’. It gets very clear once you start imagining and visualising the film,” he said.ĭevgn shared that the makers changed the title of the film from “Mayday” to “Runway 34” for better understanding. Once you’re working on the script, you know exactly the way you want your other actors to be.
“I love my work, I’m not afraid of it… You’re working on the script as a director, so as an actor you keep getting prepared.
He made his directorial debut in 2008 with “U Me Aur Hum” and followed it up with his 2016 actioner “Shivaay”. The actor-filmmaker, who has also produced the movie via his Ajay Devgn Ffilms, said he is not scared of hard work. Inspired by a true incident from 2015, the movie revolves around Captain Vikrant Khanna (Devgn), a flying prodigy, whose flight takes a mysterious course after take-off from an international destination.Īsked to choose between acting and direction, Devgn said he loves them both. Rakul Preet Singh, who also stars in the film, was present at the event as well. He was speaking at the second trailer launch of his upcoming directorial “Runway 34”, billed as an edge-of-the-seat thriller. If they have to release the films in the north, they take actors from the north also and they plan the script accordingly so that it works pan India,” Devgn told reporters here. “If someone will try in future, it will definitely happen because their films are good and are doing well here. In my opinion, nobody has attempted to release a film from the north down south on a big scale. “It’s not that films from here (north) are not going there (to the south).
When asked that southern audiences are yet to warm up to the films from the north, Devgn said, “It’s nothing like that.” The 53-year-old actor-director, who recently featured in a pivotal role in the pan India blockbuster “RRR”, said filmmakers from the south plan the script of their films to reach out to audiences beyond language barriers. New Delhi, Apr 11 (PTI) Commenting on the rising popularity of south films in the Bollywood-ruled north India, superstar Ajay Devgn on Monday said the reason behind the success of the non-Hindi movies here is the pan India promotional strategy.
