Mega Prince Varun Tej who is known for his unique script selection has won the hearts of the Telugu audience with movies like ‘Kanche’, ‘Tholi Prema’, ‘Anthariksham’, ‘Gaddalakonda Ganesh’ and others. He often challenges himself with new subjects and he is now making his Bollywood debut with a bilingual film set in the backdrop of Indian Air Force.
Inspired by true events, this project has been announced officially a while ago and Sony Pictures International Productions and Renaissance Pictures banners are jointly producing it. The movie will be going on floors in November 2022 and the grand opening was held today. As we know, the two production banners made ‘Major’ with Adivi Sesh and it turned out to be very successful. #VT13 will be their second production venture together.
This untitled film is a patriotic, edge-of-the-seat entertainer, and will showcase the indomitable spirits of our heroes on the frontlines and the challenges they face as they fight one of the biggest, fiercest aerial attacks that India has ever seen. At the event, Varun Tej said, “I am honoured to have received the opportunity to play the role of an Indian Air Force Officer and celebrate their valour on the big screen. Partnering with global giant Sony Pictures International Productions, Sandeep Mudda and director Shakti Pratap Singh, we strive to make a film that we hope will be a perfect tribute to the Indian Air Force. The script for this film provides a challenge to break out of my previous roles. As an (IAF)officer, my character has layers that will be interesting for me to showcase in this film. I will be undergoing immense training and I am excited to see how the audiences react to this one.”
Producer Sandeep Mudda expressed his happiness by saying, “I am extremely happy to be part of this movie’s journey but more so, I am proud of the intended output that everyone is working so hard together to deliver on this film. I am certain that the movie will not just be an incredible spectacle packed with action and heart, but it will also evoke emotions like never before. I am happy to have Sony Pictures International Productions back this story along with their unmatched experience in marketing and distribution.”
Shakti Pratap Singh who is a well known ad-filmmaker, cinematographer and VFX aficionado is making his debut as a feature film director with this movie. The movie will be shot in Telugu and Hindi simultaneously and is expected to go on floors by the end of this year and will have a global release in 2023.
Mr Lada Guruden Singh, General Manager and Head of Sony Pictures International Productions, India stated, “As a studio we have been finding stories that resonate with India’s triumphs and celebrate its true heroes, which was just seen with our recent film Major. We look forward to delivering on our promise to provide viewers with wholesome entertainment and are thrilled to collaborate with Varun Tej, Shakti Pratap Singh and Sandeep Mudda as they come together to give the audiences a unique first-of-its-kind cinematic experience.”
