Amitabh Bachchan, who also featured opposite Ajay Devgn in the aviation drama, has praised Ajay Devgn’s latest directorial Runway 34. Ajay, who earlier stated that he would not have done the film if Amitabh Bachchan had not agreed to feature in it, shared a handwritten message from the legendary actor on his social media pages on Saturday. After reading the handwritten message in which Amitabh termed it an “amazing honour” to be directed by Ajay in the film, Ajay said that he feels emotional.

Ajay posted a photo of Amitabh’s message with the caption, “It’s difficult to put into words the honour of having the legendary Amitabh Bachchan feature in your directorial debut. And when he writes a handwritten message with his passionate comments, it elicits a dizzying mix of appreciation and fulfilment. Thank you very much, Amit Ji! #Runway34.”

The letter was written on a notepad with the names of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, as well as a logo in the shape of a B for Bachchan. It was dated April 29. In the letter, Amitabh wrote, “Hello, Ajay! Ajay! Ajay! It was an unbelievable honour to be a part of ’34’ and to get such a wonderful director’s gift. Your work is excellent. It’s amazing how well you’ve put everything together. They claim it’s your finest, but I’m confident there will be many more. Congratulations.”

“And, Amitji closed his message with these lines,” Ajay wrote in another letter from Amitabh. “PS: Your expressions and performance in the cockpit were pure brilliance,” the note stated.” “Well deserved words on both sides,” his wife Kajol said on his Instagram account after seeing the messages.

Runway 34 is based on a true story from 2015, in which a Doha to Kochi flight narrowly avoided disaster after having trouble landing at the airport owing to poor weather and limited visibility. Captain Vikrant Khanna, played by Ajay Devgn, is a flying prodigy, and Tanya Albuquerque, played by Rakul Preet Singh, is his co-pilot. In the case, Amitabh Bachchan portrays Narayan Vedant, the investigating officer. Ajay has directed and produced the film in addition to acting in it.

According to the film’s review, “Ajay, once again donning the director’s hat, does an outstanding job. I must say, he’s a fantastic storyteller. He creates an immersive experience with Runway 34, rather than just acting.”

Zeenat Hussein, Aamir Khan’s mother, has explained how she reacts to his films that she dislikes. He said this during the premiere of a song from his next film, Laal Singh Chaddha. The actor also revealed how his mother reacted after seeing the Laal Singh Chaddha test screening.

Kahani is the first song from Laal Singh Chaddha that Aamir has released. Mohan Kannan has provided his vocals to the song, which was composed by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

“When Ammi dislikes a film, she will ask, “hatao isko ye kya banaya hai?” ‘Place it away.’ She says it in a sweet tone, “As to a story, Aamir said.

When asked about his mother’s reaction to Laal Singh Chaddha’s test screening, Aamir stated, “First and foremost, I always get my mother’s reaction. Then I wait for my children’s reactions. My mother was a big fan of the movie. ‘Aamir, don’t listen to anyone,’ she said after viewing it. The film is flawless; it should be released as is. ‘Don’t take anything out.’ As a result, I must know how Ammi feels.

Aamir explained why he opted to release the song rather than the video, saying, “The songs in Laal Singh Chaddha are, without a doubt, the heart and soul of the film, and this album has some of my greatest work.

Putting Pritam, Amitabh, the vocalists, and the technicians in the limelight was a deliberate decision because not only do they deserve to be in the spotlight, but the music does as well. I’m excited to see how the public reacts to the music that the crew has put their hearts and souls into.”

Laal Singh Chaddha stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Chaitanya Akkineni and is an adaptation of Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump. On August 11, the film will be released in theatres around the country.
