Handling production hassles while being suspended mid-air for action sequences - Mohit Chadda does it all for Flight

After creating quite the stir with the masaledar motion poster and the entertaining trailer, leading man Mohit Chadda and the entire team of the film Flight have kicked off their final run to the theatres. 

Co-Starring Pawan Malhotra, Zakir Hussain, Viveck Vaswani, Shibani Bedi, this edge of the seat action thriller follows the journey of a business tycoon Ranveer Malhotra(Chadda), who against all the odds, has to face deadly obstacles on a plane to survive. 

As main protagonist Ranveer Malhotra - this modern day, quintessential good guy with solid principles will be seen ruffling quite a few feathers. Right from beating up goons single handedly to braving the odds of a meticulously planned kidnapping, onboard a pilotless flight stuck in thunderstorm, Mohit Chadda has been able to showcase tones of brawn with the crazy action sequences. Given the fact that he's the man leading the way and holding it all together, Mohit knew he had to be responsible with his action showcase. 

However, he was donning multiple hats through the entire shooting process as the producer too, and that meant mouthing lines in one minute and addressing the impact of the Mumbai monsoon on set in another minute. Talking about juggling his actor-producer roles, Mohit says, "There were times when I would come out bruised after completing the day's action sequences, and get straight into negotiation mode with vendors and partners, all the same time. Whilst shooting one particular action scene, I was suspended mid-air after completing multiple action rehearsals, and right then I had to complete some back end conversations  in the same suspended state! By the end of that sequence, I had a frozen shoulder for 3 days. Luckily, my experience with sports growing up, my kung-fu training and diligent workouts, came to my aid to cope with the demands of this excruciating process. The fact that the set of plane interior was mounted on hydraulics, and was tossing and turning around, made the process even more challenging". 

Mohit and director Suraj Joshi had a highly detailed and ambitious visualization for how the action should look. To ensure that their dream comes to life with superior execution, they roped in a specialized Thai action team, lead by renowned action director Pradit Seeuem, who directed the fight sequences in teh film and Nishant Khan, who brought the mid flight action sequences to life. It's interesting to note that Pradit previously collaborated with Indian actors like Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, John Abraham etc and also designed action sequences on international projects like Mountain Tiger, Treasure Island, Rescue Dawn, The Magnificient Five, Marine 2 etc. 

Directed by debutant director Suraj Joshi, produced by Crazy Boyz Entertainment, the movie is being released by UFO Moviez and Reliance Entertainment on March 19, 2021.
