Eijaz Khan Recalls Ladakh Shoot For 120 Bahadur: ‘Felt Like I Was Having A Heart Attack'
Farhan Akhtar is all set to make his on-screen comeback with 120 Bahadur. The movie stars him along with Raashii Khanna. Eijaz Khan, who gained widespread recognition in Bigg Boss 14, also plays a pivotal role in the film. As the teaser of the movie was dropped today at a grand launch event, Eijaz Khan also interacted with the media and revealed how difficult it is to shoot in Ladakh.
The actor, while addressing the media, shared, 'Mujhe laga tha ki mein bohot fit hoon, ki I am a very fit 50-year-old, lekin Ladakh mein I think aapka ego jakar mar jata hai. Dusre hi din jab mein shooting kar raha tha, toh mujhe laga ki mujhe heart attack aa raha hai, and then we went to the ambulance." (I thought I was very fit, like I'm a very fit 50-year-old, but in Ladakh, I think your ego just gets crushed. On the second day itself, while I was shooting, I felt like I was having a heart attack — and then we rushed to the ambulance.)
Inspired by the real-life heroism of the Battle of Rezang La (1962), the teaser offers a pulse-pounding look at the bravery of 120 Indian soldiers who stood their ground against thousands. At its heart is the thunderous declaration: 'Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge!" — a line that echoes throughout the visuals and sets the emotional core of the film.
The makers, taking to their official handle, posted the teaser along with the caption, 'Yeh wardi sirf himmat nahin, balidaan bhi maangti hai! Based on the incredible true story, this is a war forged in snow and sealed with sacrifice. 120 Bahadur teaser out now. Releasing in cinemas near you on 21st Nov, 2025."
Directed by Razneesh 'Razy" Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani & Farhan Akhtar (Excel Entertainment) and Amit Chandrra (Trigger Happy Studios), 120 Bahadur releases in cinemas on 21st November 2025.
Meanwhile, as for Eijaz Khan, his recent projects included the blockbuster Jawan (2023), Adrishyam, City of Dreams Season 3, and Dhoom Dhaam, all released earlier this year. He was also in the headlines after he broke up with Pavitra Punia, the actress he met inside the Bigg Boss 14 house.

War 2 Advance Booking: Hrithik-Jr NTR Film Sells 50K Tickets, Eyes Rs 30 Cr Hindi Opening
Last Updated: War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, sells 50,000 Hindi tickets in advance. A Rs 30 crore day-one and Rs 100 crore global opening are on the cards. The buzz for War 2 is steadily building as the Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani starrer clocks impressive advance booking numbers in its Hindi version. As of 11:30 pm on August 11, 2025, national cinema chains PVRInox and Cinepolis reported a combined 50,000 tickets sold for day one. War 2 Hindi Advance Sales Hit 50,000, Rs 30 Crore Opening Expected Trade analysts expect final pre-release sales in these chains to cross 1.5 lakh tickets, paving the way for a ₹30 crore-plus net opening in Hindi alone. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film marks a major chapter in YRF's Spy Universe. While the Hindi bookings are off to a solid start, the Telugu version opens for reservations tomorrow. Analysts predict healthy numbers but caution that War 2, being primarily a Bollywood production, won't enjoy the automatic regional boost that big-ticket Tollywood films typically get. War 2 Mixed Buzz, But Huge Potential at the Box Office Early industry chatter classifies War 2's Hindi bookings as 'good, though not exceptional." Compared to the euphoric pre-sales seen in some 2023 Bollywood blockbusters, the film's mass appeal still has room to grow. Trade experts believe positive word of mouth will be key to pulling in wider audiences. Hrithik Roshan's last outing Fighter saw strong urban numbers but faltered with rural and mass-market viewers. Whether War 2 can bridge that gap will be a major talking point post-release. Globally, advance booking trends are encouraging. A ₹100 crore worldwide opening day is within reach for the action-packed thriller. However, competition is fierce—its release-day rival Coolie is projected to net around ₹140 crore on debut. That said, Hindi films generally sustain better post-opening than Tamil blockbusters, giving War 2 a chance to take the lead in the days following its release. With slick action, a star-studded cast, and a storyline that unites two pan-India icons, War 2 is positioned as one of 2025's most ambitious releases. If audience reception matches the hype, the film could dominate the Independence Day weekend box office.
