Mumbai, Nov 20 (NationPress) As 120 Bahadur approaches its release date, numerous tales from its demanding shooting schedule are coming to light, emphasizing not only the film's grandeur but also the incredible commitment of its cast.

Among these behind-the-scenes anecdotes is an incident involving actor Ankit Siwach during the filming of this Excel Entertainment war drama. During the training period for 120 Bahadur, the cast engaged in intensive action rehearsals to maintain authenticity in the film's combat sequences.

One particularly challenging session featured a choreographed wrestling scene between Ankit and another actor. They were carefully planning the fight to ensure it would look impressive on screen, practicing each move meticulously with precision, timing, and controlled aggression. Ankit vividly recalls, “We were rehearsing a wrestling block, and everything unfolded rapidly. I felt a sudden jerk in my finger, but when you’re immersed in an action sequence, you don’t pause. You just ride the energy of the scene.”

Unaware of the injury's severity at that moment, he persevered through the entire sequence without breaking character or rhythm. “My focus was on executing the movement flawlessly. I didn’t want to disrupt the team's flow,” he explained. It was only after the sequence that the pain intensified. The crew inspected his hand and found that his finger had sustained an injury during the grappling maneuver. Medical assistance was provided immediately on set.

Despite the discomfort, Ankit returned to rehearsal shortly after. “In a film like 120 Bahadur, physicality is integral to the journey. We’re portraying soldiers—men who function beyond pain. That mindset influences you, even off-screen.” His commitment left the crew thoroughly impressed, reinforcing why Ankit Siwach is known for his reliability, intensity, and steadfast discipline. In a film steeped in grit and valor, it seems Ankit embodied the same spirit behind the scenes as well.

Regarding 120 Bahadur, directed by Razneesh 'Razy' Ghai, the film is set to premiere on November 21. Supported by the Excel Entertainment banner, 120 Bahadur showcases the heroic narrative of the 120 soldiers who bravely fought at the Rezang La frontier, transforming their battle into a lasting symbol of courage and sacrifice.
