Days
after
the
heart-wrenching
Kozhikode
air
crash
that
shook
the
country,
a
group
of
film
enthusiasts
have
decided
to
make
a
screen
adaptation
of
the
two
weeks
old
incident.
A
film
titled
Calicut
Express
has
been
announced,
which
will
be
helmed
by
Maya.
Backed
by
Take
Off
Cinemas,
the
film
on
the
real-life
event
will
be
scripted
by
Majeed
Maranchery.
As
per
reports,
the
film
will
star
a
big
Mollywood
star
along
with
a
hundred
new
faces.
The
makers
of
Calicut
Express
are
planning
to
start
rolling
from
January
2021
and
to
release
the
film
in
the
first
week
of
August,
2021.
The
plane
crash
at
the
Kozhikode
International
Airport
of
Kerala
(Calicut
Airport)
took
place
on
August
7,
2020,
which
killed
18
people,
including
4
children,
1
pilot
and
1
co-pilot.
The
unfortunate
incident
occurred
after
an
Air
India
Express
flight
skidded
off
the
runway
of
the
tabletop
airport,
eventually
falling
into
a
slope,
shattering
the
aircraft
into
two
while
killing
and
injuring
many.
The
incident
also
saw
the
unity
of
the
locals,
who
took
part
in
the
rescue
operation.
Many
celebrities
including
film
stars
and
politicians
applauded
the
effort
of
the
people,
who
are
currently
under
quarantine
after
a
few
of
the
injured
passengers
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
