Some dates refuse to fade, and Rajkummar Rao is tapping into one of India’s most painful collective memories as Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam gears up for its next big reveal. Ahead of the trailer launch tomorrow, the actor has fronted a special video recalling 26/11, the date of the Mumbai terror attacks that continues to stay etched in the national memory. The timing sharpens attention on a film built around one of the most closely watched legal battles in modern Indian history.
Trailer Out Tomorrow As Film Builds Momentum
The trailer of Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam is set to drop tomorrow, offering the first full glimpse of Rajkummar Rao’s turn as public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. The film is based on true events and revisits the courtroom fight that followed the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, with Nikam serving as the Special Public Prosecutor in the case and leading the prosecution in the trial of Ajmal Kasab.
That immediate connection to 26/11 gives the campaign a far more emotional edge than a routine trailer countdown. The new video positions the film not just as a biographical drama, but as a retelling of a chapter that still carries enormous public weight.
The Film’s Cast, Crew And Release Date
Directed by Avinash Arun, Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam is backed by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on October 16, 2026. The film’s credited cast includes Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Sikandar Kher and Tarun Sharma.
The project appears to be mounted as a legal and biographical drama, with the spotlight firmly on Nikam’s role in one of the country’s most consequential terror trials. A teaser for the film had already confirmed its October 16 theatrical release, and the trailer rollout now marks the next major step in the campaign.
Rajkummar Rao’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Rajkummar Rao has had a packed run across both theatrical and streaming projects in the last two years. His 2024 theatrical release Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, co-starring Triptii Dimri, was followed in 2025 by Bhool Chuk Maaf and Maalik, keeping him in a steady commercial lane while balancing offbeat choices.
His upcoming slate also reflects that range. Alongside Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam, Rao is attached to Toaster, a Netflix title that adds an OTT project to his recent lineup. That makes Prahaar a particularly interesting pivot, placing him back in a real-life, performance-driven space with a figure whose story is inseparable from a defining national tragedy.
With the trailer arriving tomorrow and the theatrical release locked for October 16, Prahaar is now moving into a far more visible phase, and all eyes will be on how the film brings Ujjwal Nikam’s story to screen.
