Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan dropped by the set of actress Sonam Kapoor’s upcoming film Neerja, a biopic about Pan Am flight attendant Neerja Bhanot.

The film went into production last month and several celebrities including Vidya Balan, Boman Irani, Anil Kapoor, Raju Hirani have visited the set of the movie.

“I knew that getting Aamir Khan, Boman Irani, Vidya Balan, Raju Hirani and Anil Kapoor to speak to the 220 cast would help instil dedication and effort that this film would require,” director Ram Madhvani said in a statement.

“I’m also very touched that Aamir Khan gave the Mahurat shot [the first take] of our film,” he added.

Kapoor plays the role of Bhanot, who was killed trying to save the lives of passengers from terrorists on board a hijacked flight on September 5, 1986.
