MUMBAI MIRROR (March 20, 2019)

Produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Select Media Holdings LLP, the magnum opus Bhuj: The Pride Of India, is all set to go several notches higher with its magnificent ensemble cast.

Ajay Devgn leads the project, that brings a crucial real life incident from the history books to the big screen. And now several others are onboard. Sanjay Dutt’s commanding presence, Sonakshi Sinha’s allure, Rana Daggubati’s versatility and Parineeti Chopra’s vivacity along with Punjabi superstar Ammy Virk’s acting prowess, makes sure that Bhuj: The Pride of India will be a visual treat.

A civilian, Ranchordas Svabhai Ravari ‘Pagi’, who helped the Indian Army help win the war, is the character played by Sanjay Dutt. The actor is a pagi, one who can identify a person’s gender, height and weight by taking a look at only their footprints.

Sonakshi Sinha is known to be the actress who is fearless and this makes her perfect to essay the character of Sunderben Jetha Madharparya, a social worker and a farmer, who convinced the other 299 women from Madhapur to help build the runway.

South superstar Rana Daggubati plays the role of Madras regiment Lt Colonel who was posted in Vighakot chowki and fought the Indo-Pak war of 1971.

The role of the femme fatale Heena Rehman, an Indian spy based in Lahore, is played by the beauty with substance, Parineeti Chopra.

Ammy Virk, after establishing his stardom in Punjabi cinema, will become a part of the Hindi film industry with the role of a fighter pilot who played a very crucial role in this film that documents India’s victory.

The film celebrates the courage of 300 women of Madhapur in Gujarat, who played a pivotal part in India’s victory in the Indo-Pak war of 1971 by coming together to repair the only runway in Bhuj, which was destroyed during the war.

Written and directed by Abhishek Dudhaiya, the film will be produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ginny Khanuja, Vajir Singh, Abhishek Dudhaiya and Kumar Mangat Pathak.
