About Sarfira

Sarfira is inspired by real-life events and is based on Air Deccan Founder, Captain G R Gopinath. In the film, Akshay plays the character of Vir Mhatre, Radhika plays the character of his wife, Rani Mhatre and Seema plays his mother.

Recently Sudha spoke to PTI and said, “When I approached him (Akshay) with the script, he was immediately intrigued by the story and the character of Vir Jagannath Mhatre. He also had a lot of new ideas and inputs on how to make his character and Sarfira different from the original and more suited to the Hindi market which has made the film richer.”

Sudha also noted on the difficulties of making the same film in two languages, “Directing the same film in two languages is both a joy and a challenge. The joy comes from being able to present the story to diverse audiences and witnessing how different cultural nuances can bring new dimensions to the narrative.”
