Air Force life to be serialised on Star Plus soon

It may have lost Avinash IPS to another production house, but Miditech is set to launch another series on Star Plus.

After Commando, the reality series on the Indian army it made for the BBC earlier this year, Miditech has targeted the Indian Air Force with Saara Aakash, a ficitonal series focusing on life against the backdrop of the IAF. A break from the regular family dramas and marital crises abundant on television, Saara Aakash revolves around the triumphs and tribulations of young IAF fighter pilots. Ashish Choudhary, Anuj Saxena, Manav Goel and Manish Goel play the main characters. The series has been shot mostly on location at Lohegaon Air Base, Pune.

The series portrays the officers, both young and old, who have chosen this profession with a sense of purpose, as the real life heroes that they are. It gives an insight into the lives of the officers as they go about their business of defending the country, says the production house.
