So high above the world – 37,000 feet to be exact! The team of the upcoming action film Yoddha came together for a one-of-a-kind trailer launch for which they decided to fly a team of select media persons from Mumbai to Ahmedabad.
The entire cast of the film – Sidharth Malhotra, Disha Patani, Raashi Khanna, directors Sagar Ambre-Pushkar Ojha, producers Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Shashank Khaitan and distributor Anil Thadani – boarded the special flight, which was everything Yodha – with customized seats. , for all the media waiting for the tablet. And as we flew in the air, Johar went ahead and told us the special code to unlock the tab and then to everyone’s surprise, there was the exciting trailer of Yoddha. Thus an out-of-the-box trailer launch was a huge success. This flight is also an integral part of the film’s story – because the story revolves around one such flight. Malhotra plays an Indian soldier, while Patani plays an air hostess.
The grand trailer launch event at a theater in Ahmedabad was packed with fans, who were also eager to meet their favorite stars. Despite battling a sore throat, Johar answered all the questions by saying, “It’s been 12 years, and it still feels like the first day, when Yash Chopra, my godfather and my mentor in the industry, came to bless all three of them. They were there for the first time. They look alike. There was no difference,” he quipped, when asked if he hopes to reunite with his students – Alia Bhatt, Sidharth and Varun Dhawan .
Patani, meanwhile, raised the nepotism debate most candidly, saying, “If I am an actress today, it is also because of Karan Johar; because he was the one who saw me when I was modeling . I was just 18 years old. I feel like I wouldn’t be here, had they not seen me at that time. So when people say anything (pointing towards nepotism)… I am an outsider. So I think this is the opportunity they have given me”.
Overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of his fans present at the event, Malhotra commented, “I have been watching videos of fans comparing my clips from SOTY and Yoddha, and I realized that this has actually been my journey. With this, I feel like I have completed my journey as an actor and life has come a full circle for me. I will always be grateful to Karan for giving me this opportunity and standing by me during this time.” Yoddha is set to release in theaters on March 15.
