Ajay Devgn to Play Squadron Leader Vijay Karnik in ‘Bhuj: The Pride Of India’, Based on India-Pakistan 1971 War

Ajay Devgn already has four finalised films in his kitty - De De Pyar De, Taanaji, Chanakya and an untitled film with Luv Ranjan. Bhuj: The Pride Of India is a biopic on Squadron Leader Vijay Karnik

Seems like actor Ajay Devgn is in no mood to relax for the next three years. He has already got four big films in the pipeline and now, a new film has been announced. Ajay will be seen playing real-life hero, Squadron Leader Vijay Karnik, in his next film, which is based on India-Pakistan’s war of 1971. Karnik is famous and celebrated for taking the help of local women in Gujarat’s Bhuj in reconstructing the destroyed Indian Air Force airstrip during the war. The moment is remembered as India’s Pearl Harbour moment and is considered as one of the bravest and smartest acts shown by an Indian in the time of war.

The film, produced by T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar and Select Media Holdings LLP, and directed by Abhishek Dudhaiya, has been titled as Bhuj: The Price Of India.

Sharing the same news on Twitter, the T-Series honcho wrote, “Collaborating with @ajaydevgn once again, for #BhujThePrideOfIndia, based on Squadron Leader Vijay Karnik. The film will be directed by #AbhishekDudhaiya @TSeries #KrishanKumar #SelectMediaHoldingsLLP #GinnyKhanuja @vajir” (sic)
