'Sarfira': A Startup and Aviation Narrative Directed by Sudha Kongara:
Helmed by National-award winning Sudha Kongara, 'Sarfira' is a gripping narrative that unfurls itself in the world of startups and aviation. Inspired by true stories and Captain Gopinath's book 'Simply Fly', it evokes the vivid hues of grit and perseverance. Akshay Kumar plays the role of Vir Jagannath Mhatre—a restless visionary from the rural depth of Maharashtra who dreams of revolutionizing the way Indians fly. Helped by a formidable supporting cast, 'Sarfira', with Paresh Rawal, Radhika Madan, and Seema Biswas in leading roles, celebrates that unconquerable spirit of a man reflecting on how a single dream of a man could rattle and change the predator-local socio-economic barriers.
