Akhil Bhanot and Aneesh Bhanot - the real life brothers of late air hostess Neerja Bhanot - will attend the trailer launch of "Neerja", a biopic on their sister here on Wednesday.

"Neerja", which stars actress Sonam Kapoor in the title role, will reveal how Neerja emerged as a hero and saved the lives of many during an airplane hijack.

Just to take part in the launch event, Neerja's brothers will fly down from Chandigarh.

Directed by Ram Madhvani, the film is slated to release next year.

The Fox Star Studios film is about Neerja Bhanot, a PanAm chief purser who was gunned down by terrorists when Flight 73 was hijacked to Karachi in 1986.

Both 'Dilwale', 'Bajirao Mastani' will do good business: SRK

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is convinced that his movie "Dilwale" and Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone-Priyanka Chopra starrer "Bajirao Mastani" will mint moolah at the box office as they have their own audience.

"Both the films are releasing on the same day. If not on the same day, people may watch 'Dilwale' later someday. But everybody will be entertained... that I can assure. 'Dilwale' is a happy, fun and family entertainer, whereas 'Bajirao Mastani' is a historical film. Both are different, both have a different audience and I believe both will do good business," Shah Rukh said here.

The films will hit the screens on Friday.
