Mumbai, April 19 - Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn has been a lucky charm for the Hindi film industry during the covid-19 pandemic as he had a role in all the hit films except "The Kashmir Files". After playing cameo roles in "Sooryavanshi", "Gangubai Kathiawadi", and "RRR", the superstar is now gearing up to release his own movie, "Runway 34" on Eid this year. ## Ajay Devgn has played the lead role in "Runway 34" apart from directing and producing it. The film is inspired by the true event of the Jet Airways Doha to Kochi flight 9W 555, a Boeing 737–800 aircraft that had a narrow escape on 18 August 2015, after facing difficulties landing at the Cochin International Airport due to bad weather and unclear visibility at 5:45 in the morning.## The "Tanhaji" actor will be sharing screen space with Legendary Amitabh Bachchan once again in the movie apart from reuniting with Rakul Preet Singh. Scheduled to release on April 29 during the Eid weekend, "Runway 34" will be clashing with Tiger Shroff's "Heropanti 2" at the box office. ## The clash between "Runway 34" and "Heropanti 2" will be the first major box office clash between two outright Hindi films. Ajay Devgn, however, is looking cool as he feels that both movies are different and have their own set of audiences. In simple words, "Runway 34" is a class audience movie while "Heropanti 2" has been made to target the mass audiences. ## "There is no clash. Both are different films. Heropanti 2 is a complete mass action film mine is not a mass film. I won't call it a clash, we support each other. Everybody has expectations from their film. I don't have a number but I also have box office expectations from my film", Ajay said during a recent media interview. ## The talks around Ajay Devgn's film have largely been positive till now and it is expected to do well at the box office. On the other hand, "Heropanti 2" is the sequel to a successful film, so there are expectations from this film as well, however, unlike "Runway 34", the trailer for Tiger Shroff's movie received negative reception which might give an upper hand to Ajay Devgn's movie. ## Stay tuned...
