Released in 2008, 'Rock On!!' was directed by Abhishek Kapoor and told the story of four friends who reunite years later through their love for music. The film not only introduced a fresh musical style to Bollywood but also marked Farhan Akhtar's acting and singing debut.

The teaser has been unveiled, offering a glimpse of Farhan Akhtar as Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, a Param Vir Chakra awardee who led the Indian forces during the war. It also includes visuals of the Indian soldiers' relentless clash with the enemies.

The film has been shot across various parts of the country, including Ladakh, Rajasthan, and Mumbai.'120 Bahadur' is slated to hit theatres on November 21, 2025.
