"This (Yodha) truly unveiled a newer version of me, which I am very thankful for. The amount of love I have received from audiences and fans is magical," he added. "I can't wait to showcase what Yodha has for them," said Malhotra.
Khanna selected it because of well-written role
Meanwhile, Khanna, known for Farzi and Tholi Prema, said, "The first thing that attracted me to Yodha was very honestly the character that was offered to me." "It was so fleshed out, and it is difficult to get such characters that hold their own specially in commercial films." "I am sure it will appeal to most women whose professional lives sometimes overlap their personal lives and impact their relationships," she added.
'Yodha's story, directors' previous works
IMDb describes Yodha as follows, "After terrorists hijack a passenger plane, an off-duty soldier aboard devises a strategy to defeat the hijackers and ensure the passengers' survival when the engine fails." It has been written by Muhammad Asif Ali (Tadap) and Ambre. As for the directors' earlier works, Ambre has earlier been an assistant director on Pathaan and Ojha has worked on Kick and War in the same capacity.
