Ajay Devgn has always slayed it when it comes to playing a man in a uniform. Be it his now super-famous avatar as the cop in Gangaajal(2003)  or for that matter the most famous Bollywood policeman in Singham(2011) and Singham Returns(2014), Devgn is known as the most Indian cinema man in khaki. In his latest outing Runway 34, Ajay plays a man in a uniform again. But this time around, he’s a suave pilot, Captain Vikrant Khanna, looking sharp in his pilot’s white & blue attire.

When asked if he ever feels the pressure while wearing any of these uniforms, he says,” I have always been drawn to men in uniform. Be it my cop avatar in Gangaajal or the iconic Singham; uniforms have a special significance. Of course, the pilot’s uniform has more glamour associated with it. But believe me, along with the glamour comes a huge responsibility. A pilot is a demi-God for the passengers who repose blind faith in him/her while they fly. I was fully aware of what this uniform brought with it. Neither Rakul Preet Singh(my co-pilot) nor I took the uniform lightly.”

Talking about the prep he did, he says,” We trained for days before shooting to get into the character. We had a real pilot on set to coach us.
We familiarised ourselves with the cockpit; learned the use of the numerous buttons on the panel. It was a mini-coaching class and we did not take it lightly. We also got lessons from the ATC (air traffic control). Runway 34 is a film based on true incidents and we needed to keep the authenticity.”

Inspired by true events, Runway 34 features an interesting star cast that includes Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh, Boman Irani, Aakanksha Singh, and Angira Dhar. Produced and directed by Ajay Devgn, Runway 34 is all set to release around Eid on April 29, 2022
