Vijay Deverakonda To Make Big Bollywood Debut With Abhishek Kapoor on Balakot Air Strike?

Actor Abhishek Kapoor had made an announcement last year saying he will be joining hands with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Bhushan Kumar on a film based on the Balakot Air Strike in 2019.

What’s more exciting is that South Indian superstar Vijay Devarakonda is who the filmmakers are eyeing for their lead.

A Pinkvilla exclusive has given us all the details we need. A source mentions, The untitled project on Balakot Air Strike will mostly be South superstar Vijay Devarakonda’s big Bollywood debut. While his next film Fighter will be dubbed in Hindi and given a pan-India release, Abhishek’s directorial will be his full-fledged Hindi feature. He will play the role of Wing Commander and national hero Abhinandan Varthaman who was kept captive in Pakistan for 60 hours following the India-Pakistan standoff. The film will trace the Pulwama attack, the air strike and Abhinandan’s time in captivity in the neighbouring country and his return to India.”

The Arjun Reddy star has liked the script and also given a verbal nod to it. When Vijay was offered the project, he expressed his interest in it. While he still has not signed on the dotted line, the COVID outbreak delayed things further. Right now, the team has no clue of when to bring the film on floors. Abhishek will first finish his film with Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor and then proceed with this ambitious project.”
