Ujjwal Nikam Praises RajKummar Rao: 'He Lived My Character' in Prahaar

Ujjwal Nikam, Rajya Sabha member and special public prosecutor, has lauded actor RajKummar Rao for his portrayal of him in the upcoming film Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam, saying the actor 'lived my character.' The endorsement came in an exclusive interview with The Free Press Journal, highlighting the film's focus on the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack trial rather than the attack itself.

Nikam, who served as the special public prosecutor in the 26/11 case, emphasized that the film, directed by Avinash Arun, examines the prosecution's case, the evidence presented, and the decision to give Ajmal Kasab a full-fledged trial. The film aims to shed light on the legal battle that followed the 2008 attacks, which killed 166 people and wounded over 300. Nikam's praise for Rao underscores the actor's commitment to capturing the nuances of the high-profile prosecutor's role.

The film's release is highly anticipated, as it promises to offer a gripping courtroom drama and a fresh perspective on one of India's most significant terror trials. Nikam's endorsement adds credibility to the project, which is expected to resonate with audiences interested in legal and historical narratives. The film is slated for release later this year, with further details awaited.
