Ahead of the Runway 34 release, actor Rakul Preet Singh opened up about essaying the role of a pilot and the preparation that went behind getting into the skin of her character, Tanya Albuquerque. Rakul, who appears as Ajay Devgn’s co-pilot in the upcoming thriller, stated that she was under the guidance of a real pilot, who aided her in honing proper skills.
She shares, “My experience playing a pilot was amazing because I love my job for the reason that you get to play different roles and learn so many different things.”
The actor recalled undergoing cockpit training for about 2-3 days, where a captain instructed them how to use a panel as they shot in a ‘real simulator’. She added,” During the entire shoot, the captain was there just to make sure that we use the right button and use right terminology while flying a plane so it looks authentic.”
She further shed light on the sense of dignity that comes with the uniform, and how it changes one’s body language and behaviour. “When you step into a uniform there is a certain sense of dignity that automatically steps in the way you walk, the way you talk, the way your language is, the way you react is very different from what a girl next door would. This is all that went into preparing for this role,” she said.
Co-starring Amitabh Bachchan and Ajay Devgn, Runway 34 is directed by Ajay Devgn and is all set to release in UK cinemas on 29th April 2022.
