it
gets
and
everyone
associated
with
the
film
feels
that
August

is
the
best
date
for

The
idea
is

pay
tribute

Indian
Air

Pilot,
Gunjan
Saxena,
the
first
female
to
go
on
combat."

Janhvi
Kapoor
On
Starring
In

Saxena's
Biopic
"I
feel
like
Gunjan
Saxena
is
my
first
film.
Also,
the
level
of
investment
in
this
one
is
abnormally
high,
because
I
got
on
board
at
such
a
nascent
stage," the
actress
was
quoted
as
saying.
Janhvi
revealed
that
she
learned
so
much
while
shooting
for
the
film,
which
gave
her
an
idea
about
how
she
wants
to
be
as
a
person,
and
her
place
in
the
industry.
She
also
said
that
the
film
gave
her
a
lot
of
confidence
even
though
it's
not
released
yet.
