Farhan Akhtar will play the role of legendary Major Shaitan Singh Bhati. With breathtaking visuals, a gripping background score, and every frame soaked in patriotism, the movie has truly moved Farhan Akhtar in many ways.
Talking about the film, Farhan shared, “The story is the battle that he fought. It’s become the stuff of legends… when I heard the story, not just of Shaitan Singh Ji but even of the soldiers who fought alongside him, it really inspired me. It was very motivating in terms of realising how much you can do for your people, for society, if you are determined. That spirit really moved me.”

About 120 Bahadur teaser
120 Bahadur is based on the incredible true story of the 120 Indian soldiers who held their ground during the Battle of Rezang La in 1962, one of the bravest last stands in Indian military history. Inspired by the real-life heroism of the Battle of Rezang La (1962), the teaser offers a pulse-pounding look at the bravery of 120 Indian soldiers who stood their ground against thousands. At its heart is the thunderous declaration: “Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge!” — a line that echoes throughout the visuals and sets the emotional core of the film. Marking Farhan Akhtar’s powerful return to the big screen, the teaser showcases him in a transformative role — intense, restrained, and deeply stirring.
Directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar (Excel Entertainment), and Amit Chandrra (Trigger Happy Studios), the film is an Excel Entertainment production. Releasing in cinemas on 21st November 2025!
