IC814: The Kandahar Hijack, starring Vijay Varma, has sparked a major controversy for misrepresentation and distortion of facts. A section of the internet slammed the makers for changing the names of hijackers (affiliated with Islamic extremist groups) to "Shankar" and "Bhola".

Vijay Varma feels that even though he’s had the opportunity to learn a lot from his co-actors (in IC814…), his time to headline projects has arrived.

Weeks after the Netflix series sparked controversy around the names of the terrorists, Anubhav Sinha, Dia Mirza, and Vijay Varma have reacted to it.

Directed by Anubhav Sinha and based on Captain Devi Sharan’s memoir, the series centers around the hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814.
