The airlift event took place from 13th August to 11th October and Akshay Kumar plays the role of Ranjit Katyal, a man who played in an important role in this evacuation.

Akshay Kumar, described his role in Airlift as, "Ranjit Katyal is a man that had it all: A rich successful businessman with a prosperous family, with the world at his feet. Till one fateful night when nothing is the same again. My character is a man of his word. When war struck Kuwait, he felt it was his duty to not only get his family back home safe, but also evacuate all the Indian families that were in the same horrendous situation he was in."

Air India holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the most people evacuated by a civil airline as a result of this effort. More than 170,000 Indians were stranded with Kuwait, homeless in the of few days.

Talking about why he did Airlift, "Ranjit Katyal not only saved thousands of lives, he came home and no-one even truly thanked him. This is my honest attempt at bringing respect to the man many families owe their lives to, a man whose name we should all know."
