Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn's starrer "Runway 34" has faced backlash from the pilot community of the country, with the Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) stating that the film is based on unrealistic portrayal.
On Tuesday, FIP Secretary Captain CS Randhawa issued a statement, slamming the film "Runway 34".
"The profession of airline pilots has been unrealistic portrayed in the movie and may create apprehensions in the minds of fliers," Captain Randhawa said.
"While we all enjoy being entertained and appreciate the artistic license of a movie director, a thrilling tale should not be perceived as a true deception of the extraordinary professionalism among airline pilots who fly thousands of flights every day responsibly and safely without incident and fanfare," the statement read.
The film claimed to be based on a real-life incident is getting a good response from the audience. The film also stars Rakul Preet Singh and Bollywood Megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
The film is said to be based on a flight from Doha to Kochi, that had crash-landed due to poor visibility in August 2015, killing several passengers.
