Hrithik Roshan hails Farhan Akhtar’s powerful 120 Bahadur

Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan recently expressed heartfelt admiration for his close friend and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara co-star Farhan Akhtar, as Farhan prepares for the release of his upcoming war drama 120 Bahadur. In a warm note, Hrithik applauded Farhan and co-producer Ritesh Sidhwani for their creativity, persistence, and continued evolution in Indian cinema.

“Farhan & Ritesh… my buoys, pushing your limits and conquering new peaks is what I have watched you both relentlessly do for so many years now,” Hrithik wrote, celebrating their growth and spirit of innovation.

Remembering Lakshya: Hrithik and Farhan’s creative bond

Reflecting on their long-standing professional relationship, Hrithik reminisced about working with Farhan on the 2004 cult classic Lakshya. “I remember the vigor and toil that went into Lakshya, but the passion I see in 120 Bahadur promises something even bigger and better in every way,” the actor shared. He also extended his best wishes to the entire team, including director Razneesh and the cast, concluding his note with heartfelt love for Farhan and excitement for the upcoming film, slated for release on November 21.

Farhan’s warm response and support from friends

Responding to Hrithik’s message, Farhan Akhtar wrote, “Hrithikkkkk … thank you; this means so much. Can’t wait for you to see the film… big, big hug, man.”

The emotional exchange captured the camaraderie between the two artists, who share both a friendship and a deep creative connection.

Actress Raashii Khanna, who also stars in 120 Bahadur, and filmmaker Zoya Akhtar joined the celebration, adding heart emojis in support of Farhan’s new venture. The moment highlighted the tight-knit nature of the Akhtar family and their creative circle, which continues to deliver some of Hindi cinema’s most inspiring stories.

A friendship rooted in collaboration

Hrithik and Farhan’s friendship extends far beyond the screen. Their association began when Farhan directed Hrithik in Lakshya, a film that remains a milestone in both their careers. They later appeared together in Luck By Chance, directed by Zoya Akhtar, and once again in the beloved 2011 film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, which also featured Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif, and Kalki Koechlin.

Their shared journey through these projects cemented their professional bond and personal trust, which continues to reflect in the mutual respect they hold for each other.

About 120 Bahadur: Story of courage and sacrifice

Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur is based on the heroic tale of 120 Indian soldiers who fought valiantly at Rezang La during the 1962 Indo-China war. The film aims to depict not just the military strategy but also the human courage, emotional strength, and indomitable spirit of those who stood against overwhelming odds.

Produced by Excel Entertainment, which Farhan co-founded with Ritesh Sidhwani, the movie is expected to be a blend of intense storytelling, realism, and powerful performances. The trailer, released recently, has already generated significant buzz, with Salman Khan himself praising Farhan’s performance and the film’s stirring premise.

As 120 Bahadur gears up for its release on November 21, Hrithik’s endorsement has amplified audience excitement. His words of admiration underscore the dedication behind the project and the decades-long friendship that continues to inspire collaboration in Bollywood.

The anticipation surrounding the film not only highlights Farhan Akhtar’s return to a strong, performance-driven role but also reflects the evolving taste of Indian audiences for emotionally charged and authentic war dramas.
