On the work front, Farhan was last seen in the war film '120 Bahadur.' Directed by Razneesh Ghai, the film portrays Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, who was conferred the Param Vir Chakra for bravery in the Battle of Rezang La in 1962. His unit, predominantly composed of Ahir (Yadav) soldiers from Rewari and adjoining regions, defended the Rezang La Pass, the first line of defence of the Chushul airfield.
Bringing such real-life stories to the screen is never easy, and there is added responsibility and pressure to make them appealing and to do justice to the major events and the people involved.
Speaking to ANI, Farhan opened up about the challenges of getting involved with such stories. He said, "All films are challenging in some way or another. Of course, this demanded a lot more because of where we shot it. That does make a difference."
The film also stars Raashii Khanna, Sparsh Walia, Vivan Bhatena, and Dhanveer Singh in prominent roles.
