Lights, camera, action as MiG-21 makes final sorties

Bikaner, August 25: In a striking blend of history and cinema, the Indian Air Force's iconic MiG-21 fighter jets thundered across the skies one last time at the Nal Air Force Station in Bikaner, even as cameras rolled to capture the jet's swan song for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film Love And War.

Vanity vans lined up on the tarmac, film crews buzzed with anticipation, and the moment was surreal - a historic farewell doubling as a cinematic milestone.

The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, is rumoured to be a love triangle set against a wartime backdrop. The Russian-origin MiG-21, long hailed as a “rocket with wings,” will feature prominently — both as a cinematic symbol and a real-life war hero making its final bow.
