Being one of the popular actors in Bollywood, Ajay Devgn is widely known as a versatile actor who has been giving some memorable performances. His immediate film, Runway 34, is loosely based on the 2015 Jet Airways Doha Kochi flight incident when the plane narrowly escaped a disaster after facing difficulties due to climatic changes. The film was released on April 29.
Recently, Ajay Devgn has also announced the release date of his next movie, Bholaa, which is the remake of the Tamil Movie Kaithi. Touted as an action drama, Bholaa will hit the screens on March 30, 2023.
Speaking of Runway 34, Popular Bollywood analyst cum Business Transformation Expert Hirav Shah says, ” Ajay Devgn is returning to directing with the next film Runway 34. The film is based on the true story of Captain Vikrant Khanna, played by Ajay Devgn, whose flight takes a strange turn after take-off. The film is based on genuine facts. On April 29, 2022, Runway 34 was released in theatres.”
Hirav Shah adds, “The last time Ajay Devgn gave us a flop was five years ago, in 2017, when Baadshaho garnered a disastrous response from critics and audiences. Since then – the pandemic years notwithstanding – Devgn has given Bollywood nine hits. But things are different now. Bollywood is falling like a pack of cards, and the audience is not stepping out unless the movie is worth their time and money.
