Kangana Ranaut who was last seen in 'Panga' has launched the first look poster of her upcoming actioner Tejas. The new still shows her dressed as an Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot, with a fighter plane and vast, open skies behind her. The new film is about a daring fighter pilot, essayed by Kangana. 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.
Talking about the film, Kangana told Mumbai Mirror, "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. I hope we instil a sense of patriotism and pride in the youth of today with this movie. I’m looking forward to the journey with Sarvesh and Ronnie on this one." Tejas is set to go on floors this summer and will release in April 2021. The film is written and directed by Sarvesh Mewara and produced by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP films.
