The gripping trailer is now out and gives goosebumps as it brings to life the bravery and sacrifice of soldiers, with Ajinkya playing the role of a decorated officer in this unforgettable story.

I’m very happy he felt I was the right fit. Playing a real-life war hero, a decorated officer naturally came with a lot of weight on my shoulders. Honestly, I was scared at first.”
He continued, “But stepping onto the set changed everything. Once I reached the location, the way Razy guided the journey, it didn’t feel as heavy as I had imagined. I was blessed to feel grounded, as if I had the strength I needed to do justice to the part. God graced me with big shoulders, I was fine.”
Though Ajinkya wasn’t part of the battlefield sequences physically, he fondly recalls the energy of the team: “It was a wonderful journey. Even though I was at the base, not in the field with the boys, I could hear the energy and fun they shared. It made me feel like I was right there with them.”
With 120 Bahadur, Ajinkya Deo not only brings depth and dignity to his character but also delivers a heartfelt tribute to India’s unsung heroes.
