According to reliable sources, the teaser will be a grand affair, as the makers have planned an immersive launch in Mumbai. "120 Bahadur is a big-scale action film, and the makers have gone ahead to make an uncompromised product by roping in international crew for the key action sequences. After Lakshya, this is another army based film from Excel, and the entire team is very bullish on the theatrical prospects of 120 Bahadur," the source shared. 

In the film, Farhan Akhtar will be seen playing the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati (PVC). "Farhan has a special leaning towards biopic, as he considers Bhaag Milkha Bhaag as one of the landmark films of his acting career. He underwent intense prep to play the part of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati (PVC), and will be seen in a never-before avatar in 120 Bahadur. The makers are going ahead with a longer-than-usual marketing campaign to create awareness for its theatrical release," the source added.

Meanwhile, Farhan Akhtar is presently prepping for his next directorial, Don 3 which is scheduled to go on floors with Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon from January 2026. The casting for Don 3 is presently underway, and the makers are expected to rope in a top actor to play the antagonist turn.
