Backgrounder

It was extreme cold that was faced by our 119 soldiers with one commander to lead them. They had ordinary weapons with no backup. But their enthusiasm and valour and zeal to save the Honour of their Motherland was so dedicated that even the army of 3000 enemies with thermal uniforms and automatic weapons couldn't deter them even a bit.

Sacrifice Of Bravehearts

These Indian bravehearts knew that death and only death was standing before them but they fought till the last drop of blood and roaring and facing death fearlessly. But before the supreme sacrifice they killed as many as 1300 Chinese.

All-rounder Farhan Akhtar is making a powerful return to the big screen with '120 Bahadur' with Raashii Khanna who has proved herself in 'The Sabarmati Report' and 'Yodha'. Farhan is portraying the legendary Major Shaitan Singh Bhati.

Direction And Production

The film is directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under Excel Entertainment, alongside Amit Chandrra of Trigger Happy Studios.

'120 Bahadur' teaser releases tomorrow 5 August but the buzz is already making rounds in the entertainment sectors as it marks Farhan Akhtar much-anticipated return after a hiatus.

Authentic Filming

The producers of '120 Bahadur' have shot the film at various locations in Ladakh, Rajasthan, and Mumbai.They have tried to recreate the same harsh and high-altitude war zones with shooting at altitudes of 14,000 feet and in temperatures as low as –10°C.

To give the authenticity to the battle sequences, the filmmakers engaged the Oscar-winning action team behind All Quiet on the Western Front and had collaboration with Snow Business who are UK-based experts in creating large-scale winter war environments.

'120 Bahadur' tells the story of a battle that changed the course of war and forced the Chinese to call for a unilateral ceasefire — a moment rarely spotlighted in Indian cinema.

The film will definitely prove to be both emotionally stirring and visually spectacular.
