Directed by Avinash Arun, the film also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Sikandar Kher, Wamiqa Gabbi, Lalit Prabhakar and Ashish Vidyarthi in key roles.

Is ‘Prahaar’ based on a true story?

Yes. The makers have described ‘Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam’ as being based on true incidents surrounding the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

The film follows the career of Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, played by Rajkummar Rao, and explores his involvement in the legal proceedings connected to the 1993 Bombay bombings and the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

One of the central aspects of Nikam’s career was the prosecution of Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist captured during the 26/11 attacks. The film also features Jaideep Ahlawat as Pakistani prosecutor Chaudhary Zulfiqar Ali, drawing a parallel between the two legal figures.
