Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut will now be resuming the shoot for her upcoming movie ‘Tejas’.
The ‘Queen’ actor took to her Twitter handle on Friday and shared pictures of herself praying in front of an idol of Lord Ganesh, before leaving for her shoot in Jaisalmer. Along with the pictures, she tweeted, “It was a very short trip home, now leaving for Jaisalmer for #Tejas shoot, distressed to see COVID cases rise everywhere, praying for everyone’s well being …. also thank you for all for all the love and kindness bestowed upon #ThalaiviTrailer.”
The actress also recently shared her new look for ‘Tejas’, in which she will be seen playing the role of an Air Force officer. The Indian Air Force was the first of the country’s defence forces to induct women into combat roles in 2016. The film takes inspiration from this landmark event.
The 34-year-old star, who recently bagged her fourth National Film Award, for her films ‘Manikarnika-The Queen of Jhansi’ and ‘Panga’ feels honoured to play the character of a fighter pilot and stated, “Very often the sacrifices made by our brave women in uniform go unnoticed by the nation. ‘Tejas’ is a film where I have the honour of playing the role of one such Air Force pilot who puts country before self.”
Looking forward to the movie, she added, “I hope we instil a sense of patriotism and pride in the youth of today with this film. I am looking forward to the journey with Sarvesh and Ronnie on this one.”
Written and directed by Sarvesh Mewara, ‘Tejas’ is being produced by RSVP Movies.
