Karan Johar has a lot on his plate right now which includes 'Kesari', 'Brahmastra' as also 'Sairat'. However, the actor has already confirmed one more project! The ace director will be making a biopic on flight lieutenant Gunjan Saxena. Gunjan, along with flight lieutenant Srividya Rajan, were India’s first women to fly choppers and evacuate injured Indian soldiers from Kargil almost 18 years ago. They even braved enemies from Kashmir whilst doing so and making a biopic on them seems so fitting!
The story will make for quite an interesting one considering the above as also the fact that Gunjan’s brother and father too were in the army. The combat aviator was awarded the Shaurya Chakra and she made for one of just 25 women to form the first batch of IAF trainee pilots.
A source said, “Karan, who is also partaking as a producer in many women-oriented films like the Alia Bhatt-starrer 'Raazi', is now looking to cast the right girl for the role. Karan will not direct the film himself".
