The script of 'Tejas' is crafted to make audiences feel the adrenaline rush that India’s brave soldiers experience on a daily basis, without once thinking of personal gain or needs. Following one of its core themes, 'Tejas' brings an exhilarating account of what women can achieve when given a chance.

Written and to be directed by Sarvesh Mewara, this is RSVP’s second film after Vicky Kaushal starrer 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' that salutes the forces and aims to inspire the country at large.

"We made an army-centric/army-based film with URI: THE SURGICAL STRIKE. TEJAS is our dedication to the brave fighter pilots of the Indian Air Force, who always put the country first. We are excited and honoured to share this brave story with viewers and hope it inspires many more women to join the Air Force," says Ronnie Screwvala in a statement.

Whereas, Kangana shares, "Very often the sacrifices made by our brave women in uniform go unnoticed by the nation. Tejas is a film where I have the honour of playing the role of one such Air Force pilot that puts country before self . I hope we instil a sense of patriotism and pride in the youth of today with this film. I am looking forward to the journey with Sarvesh and Ronnie on this one."

'Tejas' is set to go on floors this summer and release in April 2021.
