Hawaizaada (transl. 'Airborne') is a 2015 Indian Hindi drama film written, directed and produced by Vibhu Puri along with Reliance Entertainment.[1] Inspired by the biography of Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, the film stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Mithun Chakraborty and Pallavi Sharda.[2] Talpade, a resident of Bombay, is claimed to have constructed and flown an unmanned, heavier-than-air aircraft in 1895. Contemporary accounts of a successful flight do not exist, and no reliable historical records document its existence.[3][4] The film depicts Talpade successfully conducting a manned flight.[3] It was released on 30 January 2015. The film was declared tax-free in Uttar Pradesh.[5]
