Farhan Akhtar is back in action with his new film 120 Bahadur. The teaser of the film will be released in theatres along with War 2 on 14th August 2025. This will give the teaser a huge reach during the Independence Day weekend.
The movie is made by Excel Entertainment, which is led by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. This banner is known for hit films like Dil Chahta Hai, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and the KGF franchise. Now, they are ready to bring another big story to the big screen with 120 Bahadur.
A big army story with Farhan Akhtar in the lead
In 120 Bahadur, Farhan Akhtar plays Major Shaitan Singh Bhati (PVC), a real-life war hero. This is an army-based film, just like Lakshya, which also starred Farhan. He has trained hard for this role and will be seen in a completely new avatar.
According to sources, this film is not a regular action movie. It is made on a grand scale. An international crew was hired to shoot action scenes. Post-production is going on in full swing. Editing, VFX, and sound work are happening at the Excel office in Mumbai.
Teaser launch event in Mumbai
The teaser of 120 Bahadur will be launched with a big event in Mumbai in the first week of August. The team wants to kick off promotions in a powerful way. Since this is a patriotic film, the timing of the teaser launch during Independence Day is perfect.
The teaser will be shown in theatres with War 2, which stars Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr. This means more eyes will be on 120 Bahadur from Day 1.
