Monday, 7th Dec 2015, 4:06 PM IST When Akshay Kumar saw the rescue efforts in Chennai by the Indian Air Force planes, the superstar felt a sense of déjà vu. It reminded him of the scenes he had shot for his upcoming flick ‘Airlift’ which is based on the rescue operations in Kuwait after Saddam Hussein's attack. A source said, "The whole rescue operation in Chennai and the efficiency and dedication with which the army carried off the operations reminded the entire ‘Airlift’ team of what they had shot in ‘Airlift’ where scores of Indians were evacuated after Saddam Hussein's attack." Director Raja Krishna Menon, "Actually I see a lot similarity between the situation in Chennai and what happened in Kuwait in 1990. I have family in Chennai and the stories they are sharing is scarily similar to what we shot for ‘Airlift’. In Chennai schools have been made into camps. People have had no food for 24 hours. This is exactly how it was in Kuwait during Saddam's invasion. The shock and surprise of the flood is very similar to Saddam's invasion of Kuwait."
