Akshay Kumar-Fronted Jaswant Singh's Biopic To Be Titled 'The Great Indian Rescue'

Mumbai, May 12 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar hasn't had much success in the last couple of years, and now, the hopes are pinned on his upcoming films which promise to show his versatility as an actor.



Before the covid-19 pandemic, Akshay delivered back-to-back hits by portraying real-life characters, and one of his upcoming films falls in a similar genre. It is known to everyone that the Khiladi Kumar of Bollywood is doing the biopic of the late Jaswant Singh Gill, a former additional chief mining engineer.



Gill is renowned for his remarkable rescue operation in 1989, where he saved the lives of 65 workers trapped in a flooded coal mine in Raniganj, West Bengal. It has been reported that the movie was titled "Capsule Gill", however, the makers never confirmed the same and have been keeping mum about it.

Now, according to Bollywood Hungama, the movie has been titled The Great Indian Rescue. "The makers feel that it does justice to the plot of the film. Also, they believe that title mein dum hai. It is based on an incredible real rescue mission and what better title than The Great Indian Rescue", the report says.



Akshay plays the titular role of Jaswant Singh in the film which also stars Parineeti Chopra as the female lead. Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and produced by Pooja Entertainment, "The Great Indian Rescue" is scheduled to release in theaters later this year.
