Farhan
Akhtar
has
announced
that
his
new
project
120
Bahadur
is
based
on
the
battle
of
Rezang
La.
The
military
action
film,
set
against
the
backdrop
of
the
1962
War,
draws
inspiration
from
the
Battle
of
Rezang
La,
where
our
soldiers
displayed
unparalleled
courage,
heroism
and
sacrifice.
Farhan
will
play
the
legendary
Major
Shaitan
Singh,
who
was
awarded
the
Param
Vir
Chakra
posthumously.
‘What
they
accomplished
will
never
be
forgotten.
It
is
an
absolute
privilege
to
bring
you
the
story
of
Major
Shaitan
Singh
Bhati
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,’
Farhan
posted.
‘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,’
he
added.
