Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam – Rajkummar Rao's new film on the 26/11 prosecutor released on October 16, 2026

Lalit Prabhakar looks like Ajmal Kasab. That’s what Ujjwal Nikam said after seeing the first stills from Prahaar. Not a performance review. Not a critique of casting. Just: Yaar, ye bilkul waisa hee lagta hai.

Ujjwal Nikam demanded real names, no glorification — and got it. Prahaar releases October 16.

Maddock Films unveiled the Prahaar trailer at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, starring Rajkummar Rao as prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. The film revisits the 26/11 terror attacks and the subsequent trial, slated for an October 16 release.

Prahaar’s trailer, launched at Mumbai’s historic CSMT, reveals Marathi actor Lalit Prabhakar’s chilling portrayal of Ajmal Kasab, a role he earned after intensive research and a rigorous audition.

Ujjwal Nikam told Amitabh Bachchan on KBC 18 that Ajmal Kasab allegedly said he'd come to Mumbai to see him. Bachchan's blunt reply has set off a wave of reactions online.
