He mentioned that the recent decisions about cancellations and delayed Air India flights show that the airline is putting in extra effort to ensure a no-risk flying experience.advertisementGrover, known for writing 'Masaan', 'Superboys of Malegaon', and 'Homebound', shared in his note that the airline seems to be correcting its 'chalta hai (it'll work)' attitude, because someone somewhere has 'put their foot down'."Looks like earlier they were flying with minimal checks, 'chalta hai' attitude but are not taking risks anymore. So the same flight with same number of tech issues would have been airborne a few weeks ago but someone has put their foot down finally (sic)," Grover wrote on X.
He added, "Hope they improve their baseline safety and maintenance and if that means cancelling most flights for the next few months, totally a financial risk worth taking (sic)."
