Mumbai: After wooing audiences with his role in Dharma's first horror film Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship, actor Akash Dhar will now be seen in another Dharma movie titled Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.
The biographical drama is based on the life of Indian Air Force combat pilot Gunjan Saxena, who was the first woman to fly the combat aviator into a war zone during the Kargil War of 1999.
"This is the best time of my life. I can't talk much about my role, but all I can say that it is pivotal role of an Air Force Pilot. I am really happy to have two back to back Dharma films," Akash said.
He also shared his experience working with actor Vicky Kaushal in Bhoot.
"It was a sheer delight working on Bhoot. I play a ship surveying officer in the film who is also Vicky Kaushal's best friend. Vicky is so easy going and a focussed person. I have learnt a lot," he added.
