Mumbai, Nov 20 (NationPress) As the release date for 120 Bahadur approaches, numerous captivating stories from its demanding filming schedule are coming to light, showcasing not only the film's grand scale but also the unwavering commitment of its cast.

Among these behind-the-scenes anecdotes is a notable incident involving actor Ankit Siwach during the production of the Excel Entertainment war drama. Throughout the training for 120 Bahadur, the cast engaged in intense action rehearsals to achieve authenticity in the film's combat sequences.

One particularly challenging session featured a carefully choreographed wrestling sequence between Ankit and another actor. They were working out the fight choreography to see how it would appear on-screen, practicing each move with accuracy, timing, and controlled energy. Ankit vividly recalls, “We were in the midst of rehearsing a wrestling segment, and everything transpired so quickly. I felt a sudden pull in my finger, but when you are immersed in an action scene, you don’t halt. You simply ride the wave of the performance.”

Unaware of the seriousness of his injury at that moment, he continued through the entire sequence without breaking character or rhythm. “My main concern was to finish the movement smoothly. I didn't want the team to have to reset everything due to my issue. We were all in this together.” It was only after the rehearsal that the pain became more pronounced. The crew assessed his hand and discovered that his finger had sustained an injury during the grappling sequence. Medical assistance was provided on set without delay.

Despite the discomfort, Ankit rejoined the rehearsal shortly after. “In a film like 120 Bahadur, the physicality is integral to the experience. We are portraying soldiers, men who push through pain. That mentality stays with you, even when the cameras are off.” His commitment greatly impressed the team, reinforcing why Ankit Siwach has built a reputation for reliability, intensity, and steadfast discipline. In a film that embodies grit and valor, it seems Ankit brought the same spirit to the set.

Regarding 120 Bahadur, the film, directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai, is scheduled for release on November 21. Backed by the Excel Entertainment banner, 120 Bahadur depicts the heroic tale of 120 soldiers who courageously fought at the Rezang La frontier, turning their struggle into a lasting symbol of bravery and sacrifice.
