Devgn plays a pilot with a photographic memory in the film. His gruff and arrogant demeanour, as well as his inability to explain the events surrounding the plane’s landing, lead to much friction between him and Bachchan. According to a News18 report, the film is based on the story of a Jet Airways Doha-Kochi flight in 2015, which was barely able to land due to adverse weather events. Runway 34 also stars Boman Irani, Aakanksha Singh and Angira Dhar. YouTuber CarryMinati has a cameo in the film as well. The film has been produced by Ajay Devgn Films along with Kumar Mangat Pathak, Hasnain Husaini, Jay Kanojia, Vikrant Surinder Sharma, Sandeep Harish Kewlanii and Tarlok Singh Jethi. Ajay Devgn was last seen in Gangubai Kathiawadi and Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness. He is also gearing up for the release of RRR, where he has an extended cameo, as well as the sports drama Maidaan. As for Amitabh Bachchan, the superstar was last seen in the sport movie Jhund. He will next be seen in Brahmastra with Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, as well the Sooraj Barjatiya directorial Uunchai. Runway 34 is set to clash with Tiger Shroff’s Heropanti 2 at the box office.
