New Delhi: The teaser for the upcoming film 120 Bahadur was released on Tuesday, giving a strong first look at a movie based on the real events of the 1962 India-China war. The story focuses on the famous Battle of Rezang La, one of the most important moments in Indian military history.
Farhan Akhtar Returns to Acting After Five Years
Farhan Akhtar is back on screen after nearly five years, playing Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, a brave soldier who was awarded the Param Vir Chakra for his courage during the war. The role marks an emotional and powerful comeback for the actor.
The teaser shows growing tension between India and China before Farhan’s character says the strong line: “Hum piche nahi hatenge” (“We will not step back”). The scenes show snowy mountains, quiet battlefields, and the tough conditions faced by the soldiers. Raashii Khanna is set to appear in a special role opposite Farhan, adding a personal touch to the story.
Farhan Shares Emotional Message
Along with the teaser, Farhan wrote on social media: “Yeh wardi sirf himmat nahin, balidaan bhi maangti hai! Based on the incredible true story is a war forged in snow and sealed with sacrifice. 120 Bahadur, teaser out now. Releasing in cinemas near you on 21st Nov, 2025.”
