Neerja which is scheduled to release on Feb 19, 2016
starring Sonam Kapoor as Neerja's character seems to have created quite a buzz
with its promos and has people's curiosity levels increased. The movie is based
on the life of senior flight crew member - Neerja Bhanot who was shot dead by
terrorists who hijacked Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi on 5 September 1986.
Director Ram Madhvani, is said to be organizing a screening
of Neerja for one of the hijack survivors Shirin Kureshi. Shirin was in her
early 20s when the incident happened and was traveling with her dance troupe
for a performance. She was shot during the hijack, and now she has shared actual
information on how Neerja Bhanot saved their lives without bothering about her
own.
In a current interview, Shirin has seemingly told that when
she got a chance to be on the set and see the shoot, she experienced numbness
and was in tears. Shirin further expressed that watching the trailer was
impactful and hit her hard giving her Goosebumps. According to Shirin it would
bring back memories for all the people who have survived the incident. Kureshi
also shared that Neerja had a very striking and pleasing personality. Seemingly
as per Shirin's version, initially during the attack because of the chaos and
panic they were not aware of Neerja's brave deeds. All the crew members stood
by their duty and promised to put the passengers before their own life. Afterward,
the passengers got to know all that Neerja did.
