The anticipation around Farhan Akhtar’s upcoming war drama ‘120 Bahadur’ has grown stronger with the release of its second teaser. The makers chose a very special day to unveil it, legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar’s birth anniversary.
On Sunday, the teaser dropped on Instagram, and the tribute was instantly felt. It opened with the stirring voice of Lata ji, singing the timeless patriotic song “Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon.”

Written by Kavi Pradeep and composed by C. Ramchandra, the song was first performed live by her in 1963 as a heartfelt salute to the brave Indian soldiers of the 1962 war. Decades later, it still brings goosebumps, and its use in the teaser perfectly sets the tone for the film.
The two-minute-10-second clip takes viewers straight into the world of ‘120 Bahadur,’ a film that focuses on the heroic Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 Indo-China war. It shows glimpses of the courage, sacrifice, and unshakable determination of the Indian Army.
For fans of Farhan Akhtar, this film is extra special. The actor is returning to the big screen after nearly five years. He steps into the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, a soldier who became a symbol of valor.
Major Shaitan Singh, awarded the Param Vir Chakra, led the 13 Kumaon Regiment against overwhelming odds, holding the Rezang La post in one of the most legendary battles of Indian military history.
The first teaser, released last month, had already built strong curiosity. With this second one, the patriotic fervor has only multiplied.
‘120 Bahadur’ was officially announced in September 2024. At that time, Farhan had shared his first look as Major Shaitan Singh.
