"After Tanhaji, Bhuj is also based on a true story, the war of 1971. I'm playing a IAF Squadron Leader Vijay Karnik. It's a very interesting film about how a group of people saved Bhuj from getting taken over during the war. I won't reveal more than this right now. I think it's a big scale for me," Devgn said.
