Farhan Akhtar is no stranger to war dramas or stories rooted in real events. But with 120 Bahadur, his latest film on the Battle of Rezang La, the actor is navigating not just a powerful chapter of history but also comparisons to Dharmendra’s iconic Haqeeqat. In a conversation with mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist, Farhan clarified that while parallels exist, the two films stand miles apart in storytelling approach.

“Haqeeqat was very loosely based on the Battle of Rezang La. They didn’t call it that, and none of the characters used the original names,” he said. “But it was definitely based on that battle, Indians outnumbered, fighting off the Chinese, and all of them martyred.”
