Kangana
On
Tejas
"TEJAS
is
an
exhilarating
story
where
I
have
the

of
playing

I
am
honoured
to
be
a
part
of
a
film
that
celebrates
these
brave
men
&
women
in
uniform
who
make
immense
sacrifices
in
the
line
of
duty
everyday...
Our

celebrates
the
armed

heroes
...
Excited
to
take

Ronnie
Screwvala
Talks
About
Resuming
Work
"We
were
in
the
midst
of
prep
when
the
world
was
hit
by
this
unfortunate
pandemic.
I'm
pleased
to
announce
that
we
are
resuming
work
and
will
commence
shoot
later
this
year.
URI:
THE
SURGICAL
STRIKE,
celebrated
the
courage
of
the
Indian
Army
and
TEJAS
is
our
dedication
to
the
brave
fighter
pilots
of
the
Indian
Air
Force.
The
idea
of
developing
a
story
around
a
woman
fighter
pilot
was
born
in-house
by
Salona
Bains
Joshi,
the
Associate
Producer
on
the
project,
and
I
backed
it
instantly.
With
Kangana
as
the
lead,
I
hope
our
film
inspires
many
more
women
to
join
the
Indian
Air
Force" says
Ronnie
Screwvala.
Director
Sarvesh
On
Tejas
"My
film
is
a
reflection
of
the
current
sentiment
in
our
country.
We
celebrate
our
armed
forces
and
I
hope
to
further
evoke
a
spirit
of
patriotism
and
nationalism
through
my
story
telling.
Kangana
is
a
strong
woman
with
a
voice
that
resonates
with
the
youth
of
this
nation
and
I
cannot
wait
to
begin
shoot
with
her" says
Sarvesh.
