New Delhi: Bollywood actress Dia Mirza is waiting for the release of her upcoming series ‘IC814’. She praised her co-actor Vijay Verma a lot. The trailer of ‘IC814’ was launched on Monday, August 19. The story of this film is based on the true incident of hijacking of Indian Airlines flight 814 by Pakistani terrorists of the terrorist organization Harkat-ul-Mujahideen. At the Malhar Film Festival, Bollywood actress Dia Mirza told how her co-star Vijay gets completely immersed in his character. Praising his complete dedication towards the character, the actress said that she never saw Vijay coming out of his character during the entire shooting.

Dia said, ‘That person stayed in the same space throughout the shoot. It was my dream to work with Vijay. On paper we are part of the same story, but I have never seen him work. I have to find a way to make sure that I get to work with him, because I am a big fan of his. ‘IC814’ is directed by Anubhav Sinha, who gained fame with films like ‘Thappad’, ‘Mulk’ and ‘Article 15’. It is based on the hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814 soon after entering Indian airspace.

‘IC814’ is based on a true incident
The hijackers took Flight 814 to several places including Amritsar, Lahore and across the Persian Gulf to Dubai. They finally forced the plane to land in Kandahar, Afghanistan, which was then under the control of the Taliban. The hijackers released 27 of the 176 passengers in Dubai, but stabbed several people, killing one. The purpose of the hijacking was to secure the release of Islamist terrorists Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Masood Azhar and Pakistan-backed Kashmiri terrorist Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar, who were jailed in India. These three terrorists were later found to be involved in other terrorist attacks such as the 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament, the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Pearl in 2002, the 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai, the 2016 Pathankot attack and the 2019 Pulwama attack. ‘IC814’ is scheduled to release on Netflix on August 29.
