Kangana’s thriller to release on June 12

Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut’s thriller Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, inspired by the true story of hospital staff who saved 400 lives during the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, will release in theatres on June 12, the makers announced on Wednesday. Written and directed by Manoj Tapadia, the film is set inside Cama Hospital on the night of the 26/11 attacks and chronicles how nurses, ward boys, cleaners, lift operators, security staff and administrative workers held their ground as terror unfolded outside.

“We usually celebrate big, dramatic acts of heroism, but real courage is much quieter, it steps in, stays back, and does what needs to be done. Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata tells an untold story of courage, sacrifice, humanity, and unity—of ordinary people who stood between terror and life itself. This is desh bhakti in its truest sense, where duty turns into action. I feel proud to be part of a story that pays tribute to those who held the city together in its toughest moments,” Ranaut said.
