Farhan Akhtar changed how Bollywood made movies based on wars with ‘Lakshya’, which resonated with the youngsters at that time. The actor-filmmaker is all set to bring another war-drama film titled ‘120 Bahadur’, based on a true story during the 1962 India-China war. He will be seen as Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, a recipient of India’s highest military honour, ‘Param Vir Chakra’.
