SCOOP: Tabu-Kareena Kapoor Khan-Kriti Sanon starrer Crew based on turbulent tales inspired by Kingfisher Airlines debacle?

en Bollywood News SCOOP: Tabu-Kareena Kapoor Khan-Kriti Sanon starrer Crew based on turbulent tales inspired by Kingfisher Airlines debacle?

It is being speculated that Crew is inspired by the Kingfisher Airlines bankruptcy episode, which rocked the country more than a decade ago.

The teaser of Crew was launched last month and it instantly made the film one of the most awaited of the season. Starring Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon, it is based on three air hostesses and how their life changes all of a sudden. The teaser indicates that the film will have lots of humour and also a dash of crime. Meanwhile, Bollywood Hungama learned of an interesting aspect of the film that is doing the rounds.

Is the Tabu-Kareena Kapoor Khan-Kriti Sanon starrer Crew based on Vijay Mallya and Kingfisher Airlines bankruptcy episode?

SCOOP: Tabu-Kareena Kapoor Khan-Kriti Sanon starrer Crew based on turbulent tales inspired by Kingfisher Airlines debacle?

It is being speculated that Crew is inspired by the Kingfisher Airlines bankruptcy episode, which rocked the country more than a decade ago. The speculations arose thanks to some of the moments and dialogues in the teaser. At one point, Kareena Kapoor Khan in the promo complains that she has been serving the passengers veg and non-veg food for free. Also, the motivation of the characters to take the route of crime has further given rise to this speculation. Moreover, the name of the company where the characters work in the film is Kohinoor Airlines. It sounds very similar to Kingfisher Airlines.

Kingfisher Airlines was owned by Vijay Mallya and it began operations in 2005. The airline was loved at one point for its stellar service, reasonable costs and for being the first airline to provide in-flight entertainment even on domestic routes. Soon, the airline ran into losses and ceased operations in October 2012. Thousands of employees weren’t paid their salaries and it became a national issue. The matter became so big that Vijay Mallya fled the country and hasn’t been to India ever since.

Coming back to Crew, it also stars Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma. It is directed by Rajesh Krishnan of Lootcase (2020) fame and is produced by Ektaa R Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor. It releases in cinemas on March 29.
