After
winning
hearts
with
his
stint
in
Pankaj
Tripathi
starrer
OMG
2,
Akshay
Kumar
is
now
making
the
headlines
for
his
recent
release
Mission
Raniganj:
The
Great
Bharat
Rescue.
The
movie
happens
to
be
a
disaster
thriller
drama
and
also
stars

the
lead.
Interestingly,

Suresh
Desai,
Mission

incidents
and
narrates
the
story
of
Jaswant
Singh
Gill,
a
brave
and
diligent
mining
engineer
from
IIT
Dhanbad,
who
rescued
65
trapped
miners
at
the
Raniganj
Coalfields
in
1989.
And
as

Interestingly,
the

Talking
about
the
film,
Akshay,
while
addressing
the
students
of
IIT
Dhanbad
in
a
virtual
interaction,
stated,
"Jaswant
Gill's
real-life
story
is
truly
inspiring
and
encouraging.
Similarly,
'Padman'
also
showcased
the
inspiring
journey
of
a
visionary.
They
don't
make
people
like
them
anymore.
As
an
actor,
I
really
love
working
on
such
inspirational
stories
that
need
to
be
told.
A
few
years
ago,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
Jaswantji
on
call
when
he
was
alive.
He
was
so
humble,
simple,
and
down
to
earth
that
it
was
genuinely
an
honor
talking
to
him".
Interestingly,
Akshay
and
Parineeti's
Mission
Raniganj:
The
Great
Bharat
Rescue
will
be
witnessing
a
box
office
clash
with
Rhea
Kapoor's
production
