Akshay Kumar is known to present tales of bravery and extraordinary heroism in his films. After delivering a bunch of socio-dramas, the actor has returned to theatres once again this year, but with a biopic this time. Titled Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue, it is inspired by a real-life incident that took place in November 1989.
Mission Raniganj is directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and written by Vipul K Rawal. It is about mining engineer Jaswant Singh Gill who rescued 65 miners from a flooded mine in Raniganj, West Bengal. Born in 1940 in Amritsar, Gill completed his BSc (Honours) from the Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad, before joining Coal India Limited in 1973. Throughout his career, the Mahabir Colliery, Raniganj, West Bengal, is said to be the most significant event.
