Last seen in the 2021 release Toofan, Farhan is now creating waves for his recent release 120 Bahaur which is a historical war drama. Directed by Razneesh 'Razy' Ghai, 120 Bahadur features Farhan Akhtar in the role of Major Shaitan Singh along with Raashii Khanna as his wife Shagun Kanwar. Needless to say, 120 has been one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

To note, 120 Bahadur is produced by Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios.

On 18 November 1962, 120 soldiers from the 13 Kumaon Regiment's Charlie Company faced off against nearly 3,000 Chinese troops. These soldiers, all belonging to the Ahir community, displayed extraordinary courage in defending their position despite being vastly outnumbered. After creating an immense buzz in the town, 120 Bahadur opened to mixed reviews from the audience and critics
