Vivan Bhathena praised Farhan Akhtar for maintaining strict boundaries between his dual roles during the production of their military drama 120 Bahadur. The performer noted that his colleague remained focused solely on acting responsibilities rather than leveraging his position as a financial backer to influence creative decisions on set.
Bhathena explained that Akhtar concentrated exclusively on developing his character and consulting the director about performance details. The cast members regularly sought his perspective, which he provided by emphasizing emotional authenticity rather than prescribing specific actions.
The historical film honors soldiers from Charlie Company of the 13 Kumaon Regiment who perished defending Rezang La against Chinese forces during the 1962 border conflict. Filmed across Ladakh's mountainous terrain, the production dramatizes battles stemming from territorial disputes over Aksai Chin and northeastern frontier regions.
