Prahaar – The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam is finally hitting screens on October 16, 2026 — a date that now carries more weight than just a release slot. The film’s makers, Dinesh Vijan and Ujjwal Nikam, met RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in Nagpur yesterday, marking a rare public alignment between a mainstream Bollywood production and one of India’s most influential ideological figures.
No official statement explained the purpose of the meeting beyond what Zee News reported: that Bhagwat was “touched” by the story and appreciated the effort to bring Nikam’s work to cinema. The moment was reciprocal, Vijan and Nikam formally felicitated Bhagwat during the interaction, a gesture that speaks volumes about the film’s positioning.
It’s not just a biopic. It’s being framed as a narrative of national duty, justice, and legacy. Rajkummar Rao, who plays Nikam, has already spoken about the emotional gravity of portraying a man whose prosecution of Ajmal Kasab defined a generation’s reckoning with terror. That context makes the timing of this meeting.
