Film on Kandahar hijacking in the pipeline

Mumbai: It will be 20 years since India witnessed the hijacking of Indian Airlines flight IC-814 in 1999. A film is being planned on the infamous hijacking that saw the then Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) government, led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, secure the release of 176 passengers and crew in return for the release of terrorists, most notably Masood Azhar of the Jaish-e-Mohammed terror group.

Producer Sarita Patil has acquired the rights to IC-814 pilot Captain Devi Sharan’s book, Flight Into Fear: The Captain’s Story, that was co-authored by Srinjoy Chowdhury and Captain Devi.
