Kangana Ranaut's 'Tejas' to premiere on Jan 5 on ZEE5

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut-starrer Tejas is set for its digital premiere on January 5 on ZEE5, the streamer announced Tuesday.

The action-packed thriller features Ranaut in the role of an Indian Air Force pilot. It is written and directed by Sarvesh Mewara and produced by Ronnie Screwvala.

Released in theatres on October 27, the film was a box office failure and earned poor reviews.

Ranaut said she is hoping the real-life story about the bravery of the armed forces in Tejas inspires the audience.

Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5, expressed pride at showcasing an inspirational film like Tejas on their platform.

Tejas traces the journey of an ambitious young woman aspiring to become a fighter pilot, challenging stereotypes, and breaking barriers in a male-dominated profession.

Writer-director Sarvesh Mewara said they are excited about the digital premiere of the film.

Producer Ronnie Screwvala said they are hoping to reach out to wider audience with the release of Tejas on ZEE.

Actors Ashish Vidyarthi, Harsvardhan Rane, Divya Dutta, Anshul Chauhan, and Varun Mitra round out the cast of Tejas.
