Wednesday, 21st June 2017, 07:35 PM IST It was heard that Ajay Devgn has bought the rights to play JS Gill, the engineer who bravely executed a rescue operation and saved the lived of 64 miners during the collapse of Mahabir Colliery at Raniganj, West Bengal. Tinu Suresh Desai of ‘Rustom’ fame will direct the film. A source quoted, “The makers have acquired the official rights to the life story of JS Gill for the yet-untitled film. Work on the script has already begun and Ajay will go through extensive prep before he starts shooting next year.” Around 220 miners were stuck inside the mine when the walls collapsed. While those closest to the lift got pulled out, 64 were badly trapped. Gill supervised the making of a special rescue rig and even lowered himself down the shaft, making sure everyone went up and took the last ride. The operation lasted close to six hours. The film will be jointly produced by Ajay and Abhinav Shuklaa.
