Ritvik Sahore steps into the courtroom spotlight — and the family drama, in Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam, hitting screens on October 16, 2026. He plays Aniket Nikam, son of the legendary lawyer Ujjwal Nikam, portrayed by Rajkummar Rao. The film’s trailer dropped this week, framing a story not just about the aftermath of 26/11, but about the quiet resilience behind the legal battle that followed. It’s a role that marks a shift for Sahore, who’s built his name through relatable OTT roles in Flames, Indori Ishq, and Campus Diaries. Now, he’s stepping into a high-stakes biopic with weightier stakes. Both personal and historical. His character isn’t just a son. He’s part of the emotional backbone holding the family together while Ujjwal fights for justice in court. That dynamic, Sahore says, was “fun” to explore, not just as a performance, but as a reflection of real life. He’s drawn to stories that go beyond the headlines, especially ones that highlight what happens after the cameras stop rolling. ‘A lot of movies have been made around what happened on the night of 26/11,’ he notes, ‘but not many know what went into the courtrooms after.’ That’s the gap Prahaar aims to fill. And it’s not just about facts. It’s about people. Wamiqa Gabbi plays Jyoti Nikam, Ujjwal’s wife, whose role, according to Sahore, is pivotal in understanding the man behind the legend. The film also features Jaideep Ahlawat in a key supporting role. Directed by Avinash Arun, it’s a project that’s clearly aiming for gravitas. For Sahore, working alongside Rao and Arun wasn’t just professional, it was formative. ‘It was an enriching experience,’ he said, calling it a moment of pride. From child artist in Ferrari Ki Sawaari (2012) to Screen Awards nominee, from festival wins in China to recognition at Mumbai’s international film fest, Sahore’s journey has been steady, not flashy. But now, with Prahaar, he’s stepping into a space where history meets heart. The question isn’t whether he can carry the weight. It’s whether audiences will let him. The film arrives at a time when Indian cinema is leaning hard into real-life narratives. Whether Prahaar becomes one of them depends on how well it balances the courtroom drama with the quiet moments between father and son. October 16 isn’t just a release date. It’s a test.
