Nimrat Kaur, who turned 33 on Friday, brought in her birthday on the sets of her movie in the company of co-star Akshay Kumar and the rest of the crew of the film.

'Airlift' reportedly sees Akshay play the lead role of Ranjit Katyal, a wealthy Indian businessman based in Kuwait.

When he and his family are caught in the midst of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Ranjit unwittingly becomes the man who all 170,000 Indians look up to for finding them a safe passage across the border into Jordan.

According to trade reports, the film is slated for a January 22, 2016 release.
