After commemorating the Indian Army with Vicky Kaushal starrer Uri: The Surgical Strike in 2019 and recently announcing another war film titled Pippa starring Ishaan Khatter, production house, RSVP’S air force film Tejas is all set to go on floors this December. The film chronicles the story of a daring and ferocious fighter pilot, which will be played by Kangana Ranaut. The Indian Air Force was the first of the country’s defence forces to introduce women into combat roles in 2016. And Tejas draws inspiration from this milestone event.
RSVP took to their social media to make the announcement. Have a look at the tweet here—

Tejas is helmed by Sarvesh Mewara. According to a report by MidDay, speaking about her upcoming film, actress Kangana Ranaut had earlier said— “Tejas is an exhilarating story where I have the privilege of playing an air force pilot. 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 every day… Our film celebrates the armed forces and its heroes … Excited to take this journey with Sarvesh and Ronnie”.
