The Indian Air Force (IAF) has written to the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) complaining about the movie Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl that is scheduled to release today (August 12) on Netflix, for 'undue negative portrayal' of IAF.

As per a report by ANI, the IAF in its letter to the censor board, and sent to Netflix and Dharma Production, stated as per the initial understanding that, "Dharma Productions had agreed to represent Indian Air Force (IAF) with authenticity and make all efforts to ensure that the film helps to inspire the next generations of IAF officers".



However, when the trailer of the movie was released recently, IAF observed that "certain scenes and dialogues in the movie and its trailer, which was forwarded to this office for viewing, have been found to portray the IAF in an undue negative light", ANI stated.

The letter further read, "In the aim to glorify the screen character of Gunjan Saxena, Dharma Productions presented some situations that are misleading and portray an inappropriate work culture especially against women in IAF".

Talking about the film, it is a biopic that is based on India's first woman Air Force pilot, Gunjan Saxena who fought during the Kargil war. The movie is directed by Sharan Sharma while Dharma Productions in association with Zee Studios and Apoorva Mehta has produced it.

Janhavi Kapoor has portrayed the character of Gunjan Saxena while Pankaj Tripathi, Angad Bedi, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Manav Vij also star in the movie.
