Sohail has now decided to take some time off to train to be a pilot. He has secretly been learning to fly.
“It’s a childhood dream,” confesses Sohail secretly. “And now that there’s some time I will complete my training.”
Sohail has been learning to fly in Ujjain. “Before the rains started I started training to be a pilot. I finished 14 hours as a student and flew my first solo flight too. I’ve to train another 40 hours and then I become a qualified pilot. It was a childhood dream. I’ve been learning at a flying school in Ujjain called Yash Air. And I’ve to finish the course before year-end.”
And Sohail plans to do a film where he plays a pilot. A Top Gun of the new millennium.
Says the actor, “Men in our family like doing the forbidden. I was told not to produce a film about farmers set in rural Punjab. I made Kissan. It’s one film I’ll always be proud of.”
