Kangana Ranaut's 'Tejas' Release Date To Be Delayed To January 2023?

Mumbai, September 6 - Kangana Ranaut-fronted hotly-awaited Tejas, based on Air Force pilot Tejas Gill, is all set to be postponed from the October 5th, 2022, release. It is believed that the movie will not meet its earlier announced release date deadline as some VFX work is still pending.

Directed by Sarvesh Mewara and produced by Ronnie Screwvala under his banner RSVP Movies, "Tejas" will now reportedly be released in January 2023 in theaters. It was recently reported that the makers might take the direct-to-digital route for the movie, however, the latest reports suggest that it will release in theaters only.



"Tejas was to release in October. However, since the film is very VFX there is still quite a bit of work pending. However, the work pending isn’t much yet it will still take a while. So to avoid doing a rushed job on the film, it was decided to defer the release date. Right now the makers are looking at a release in either December 2022 or January 2023", reports Bollywood Hungama.

The film showcases the story of a woman pilot in the Indian Air Force being played by Kangana Ranaut. The Indian Air Force was the first of the country's defense forces to induct women into combat roles in 2016. The film reportedly takes inspiration from this landmark event.

Speaking about the movie, Kangana had previously said, "Tejas is an exhilarating story where I have the privilege of playing an air force pilot. I am honored to be a part of a film that celebrates these brave men & women in uniform who make immense sacrifices in the line of duty every day. Our film celebrates the armed forces and their heroes. Excited to take this journey with Sarvesh and Ronnie".

The movie also stars Anshul Chauhan, Varun Mitra, and Pankaj Tripathi, among others in key roles.
