      Farhan Akhtar is back! After teasing a sneak peek last week, Farhan on September 4 (Wednesday) announced a new film, titled '120 Bahadur'. Inspired by real-life events, the upcoming venture will see him playing the role of an Army officer - Maj Shaitan Singh PVC, who was awarded the Param Vir Chakra posthumously for his 'C' company's dig-in at Rezang La pass during the Sino-India conflict of 1962.

      'A story of remarkable courage, heroism and selflessness'

      Farhan took to his Instagram account to share a carousel of motion and still posters. He wrote, "What they accomplished will never be forgotten. It is an absolute privilege to bring you the story of Maj. Shaitan Singh PVC and the soldiers of Charlie Company, 13 Kumaon regiment.

      Famously known as the Battle of Rezang La, fought on the 18th of November 1962 during the Indo-China war, it is a story of remarkable courage, heroism and selflessness shown by our men in uniform against all odds. We are grateful to the Indian Army for their support in bringing this incredible tale of valour to the screen. We embark today to make this film in all humility and with utmost respect to those we represent."

      The film will be directed by Razneesh "Razy" Ghai, and bankrolled by Farhan's Excel Entertainment. Details surrounding the film's release date and additional cast members are yet to be revealed.
