August 5, 2025: The teaser of 120 Bahadur, starring Farhan Akhtar, has officially dropped, and it brings with it a wave of emotion, scale, and national pride. The film is inspired by the true events of the 1962 Battle of Rezang La, where 120 Indian soldiers stood firm against overwhelming enemy forces. Farhan steps into the shoes of Param Vir Chakra awardee Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, and the teaser gives audiences a striking first look at the war drama.
Set against the backdrop of snow-covered mountains and battlefield chaos, the 120 Bahadur teaser opens with a hospital scene where a soldier recounts the events at Rezang La. From there, the visuals plunge into the unforgiving cold, with soldiers preparing for war in sub-zero temperatures. Farhan’s portrayal of Major Shaitan Singh shows calm determination in the face of impossible odds.
