About Sarfira

In Sarfira, Akshay’s character faces numerous financial and personal hurdles in his quest to revolutionise air travel. His journey brings him face-to-face with a powerful business tycoon, played by Paresh Rawal, who owns the largest airline in the country. After enduring rejection and insults, Akshay's character resolves to make his dream a reality on his own terms, even contemplating selling flight tickets for just Rs 1 to ensure affordability for all.
