Farhan Akhtar in the poster of 120 Bahadur 

The upcoming war drama 120 Bahadur, starring Farhan Akhtar, aims to spotlight the heroic Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 India-China War. To ensure authenticity on a grand scale, the makers have reportedly brought in Snow Business, the world-renowned artificial snow company behind major Hollywood productions like the Harry Potter films, Gladiator movies, and House of the Dragon. The film tells the story of 120 soldiers from the Indian Army’s 13 Kumaon Regiment who bravely defended Rezang La against 3000 Chinese troops. Though shooting at the real location — 16,000 feet up in Ladakh — was not possible, the terrain will be recreated with lifelike detail. Directed by Razneesh Ghai and produced by Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios, 120 Bahadur hits theatres on November 21, with its teaser arriving in early August.

All ears for good roles
