Akshay Kumar's Airlift is an edge-of-the-seat entertaining thriller. The story, based on real incidents, is set in 1990 in Kuwait, the time of the famous Gulf War when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. The film has Akshay playing Ranjit Katyal, a wealthy and powerful Indian businessman, who, though initially considers himself a Kuwaiti rather an Indian, finding himself and the lives of his family in danger, becomes eventually the man who helps evacuate 1,70,000 Indians from Kuwait and brings them back safely to India. To shoot the film, the director Raja Menon needed to recreate Kuwait and Baghdad of that time. We bring you an exclusive look of Akshay shooting in an old street of Ras-Al-Khaimah, which looks just like Kuwait in 1990.
