Ranaut will play the role of an IAF pilot in ‘Tejas’. The IAF was the first of the armed forces in the country to induct women in combat roles in 2016. The film takes inspiration from this landmark event.
The first look of the film was released earlier in February which featured the ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ actor donning the IAF uniform.
Helmed by Sarvesh Mewara and produced by Ronnie Screwvala, the film is scheduled to release next month. Apart from ‘Tejas’, Ranaut will also be seen in ‘Thalaivi’, a biopic on actor-turned-politician Jayalalithaa.
The actress has also signed up to play the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in an upcoming political drama.
