FARHAN AKHTAR’S REVELATION ABOUT 120 BAHADUR

Farhan Akhtar talked candidly about his next movie, 120 Bahadur, which is a suspenseful war drama based on the famous Battle of Rezang La, in which 120 Indian soldiers bravely fought against 3,000 Chinese soldiers.

The film, directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar (Excel Entertainment), and Amit Chandrra (Trigger Happy Studios), is set to hit theatres on November 21, 2025.

As Farhan described the film’s essence, he made a heartfelt request to Amitabh Bachchan:

“Our film begins with a narrator’s voice explaining what exactly happened during Rezang La. If you could please be the narrator for our opening, it would be an honour.”
