Barely three weeks of the trailer being released, makers of Sonam Kapoor-starrer 'Neerja' have been flooded with scores of mails from abroad. Two hundred-odd survivors of the 1986 hijacked Pan Am flight have expressed gratitude to the makers for coming up with a biopic on their hero, senior flight attendant Neerja Bhanot, who sacrificed her life to save theirs. Bhanot helped 359 of the total 379 people on board the ill-fated aircraft to escape before falling to the terrorists' bullets.
