Vijay Varma shares pictures with real-life Captain Devi Sharan with a heartfelt note

Vijay Varma is all set to captivate audiences with his portrayal of Captain Devi Sharan in the upcoming Netflix show IC814. Recently, Vijay took to Instagram to share a powerful moment from his journey, offering a glimpse into the real-life hero behind his role.

In his post, Vijay shared: "Real and Reel Captain Sharan, When I first met the captain, I was taken in by his pleasant smile and his simplicity. Then I saw a scar on his neck. I asked him about it, and he simply and politely said, 'woh hijackers ki gun 7 din tak yahi ragadti rahi toh wound ho gaya tha jo heal nahi hua.' I froze. He smiled. I knew I was talking to a real-life hero. It was such a huge honour to get to depict Captain Devi Sharan on screen. His efforts to save lives amidst chaos and dread are truly inspiring! A tale of resilience and honour, of critical thinking and duty, of patience and hope, and most of all, bravery. We salute you, Captain IC814 streaming on Netflix from 29th August."
