When I first met captain.. I was taken in by his pleasant smile and his simplicity.. and then I saw a scar on his neck.. I asked him about it.. he simply and politely said, ‘woh hijackers ki gun 7 din tak yahi ragadti rahi toh wound ho gaya tha jo heal nahi hua.’ I froze. He smiled.”
Expressing how he was inspired by the captain, Vijay added, “I knew I was talking to a real life hero. It was such a huge honor to get to depict Captain Devi Sharan on screen. His efforts to save lives amidst chaos and dread is truly inspiring! A tale of resilience and honor.. of critical thinking and duty.. of patience and hope and most of all.. bravery. We salute you captain.”
