Rajkummar Rao Reflects on 26/11 Ahead of 'Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam' Trailer

Certain dates remain etched in collective memory, and 26/11 is one such date for India. Rajkummar Rao, who portrays public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam in Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam, recently reflected on the significance of the date in a special video released ahead of the film’s trailer launch.

In the video, Rao speaks about how some dates become permanently associated with moments that leave a lasting impact, referring to 26/11 and its association with the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. The actor plays Ujjwal Nikam, who served as the Special Public Prosecutor in the case and led the prosecution during the trial of terrorist Ajmal Kasab.

With the trailer scheduled to release tomorrow, the makers are set to offer audiences their first extended glimpse into the film and Rao’s portrayal. Directed by Avinash Arun and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Sikandar Kher, and Tarun Sharma. The film is slated to arrive in cinemas on October 16, 2026.
