Tribute to HAWAIZAADA
Bollywood forthcoming movie titled `Hawaizaada` brings the inspiring story of the man who is believed to have flown the first unmanned aircraft, eight years before the Wright Brothers did. It is director Vibhu Puri and Ayushmann Khurrana`s tribute to the Indian unsung hero and celebrates the spirit of `Made in India`. Ayushmann, who plays Shivi, says Talpade built an aircraft using the Vedas. This role was also challenging since he is playing a Maharashtrian guy for the first time. The film also features Mithun Chakraborty as Shastry, Shivi`s mentor and Pallavi Sharda as Sitara. The controversial subject came to the fore during the recently held India Science Congress. Producer Sanjeev Lamba says it reflects the never-say-die spirit of a forgotten Indian. `Hawaizaada` produced by Reliance Entertainment, Trilogic Digital Media Ltd and Film Farmers Motion Picture Company releases January 30.
