‘Crew’ director Rajesh Krishnan: We’re currently witnessing a challenging period for the airline industry | – Times of India

At the trailer launch of the upcoming film ‘Crew,’ director Rajesh Krishnan candidly admitted to drawing inspiration from real-life incidents, hinting at the tumultuous state of the airline industry. Starring Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon, the film appears to echo the unfortunate saga of Vijay Mallya‘s Kingfisher Airlines shutdown, albeit without explicitly naming any specific airline.

Addressing queries about the film’s inspiration, Krishnan affirmed, “Essentially, I believe it’s largely inspired by events from real life. We’re currently witnessing a challenging period for the airline industry, with ongoing turbulence for various reasons.”

The filmmaker further elaborated, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of the airline industry’s challenges. He remarked, “When you delve into the historical context and attempt to comprehend the situation, you’ll often find different perspectives on why airline companies are experiencing sudden setbacks. However, considering the human aspect and the broader environmental factors at play, the narrative largely draws from real-life incidents. “
‘Crew,’ slated for theatrical release on March 29, promises to offer audiences a gripping narrative intertwined with real-world events.
