On June 16, it was reported that teasers for Rajkummar Rao’s Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story and Shraddha Kapoor’s Eetha would be shown alongside Cocktail 2. The romantic comedy hit theaters this Friday, and as anticipated, both teasers were indeed featured in the screening of the film starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna. Here’s a closer look at the teaser for Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story.
The film centers on Ujjwal Nikam, a well-known public prosecutor, with Rajkummar Rao stepping into the lead role. The cast also includes Wamiqa Gabbi, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Sikandar Kher, and is directed by Avinash Arun, who is also behind the upcoming series Pritam And Pedro. This web series is expected to debut on Jio Hotstar on July 3, while Prahaar is set to release in theaters on August 7. The teaser, which is nearly two minutes long, received a U/A 16+ rating from the Central Board of Film Certification.
The teaser highlights Nikam’s involvement in several high-stakes cases, but it focuses particularly on the trial of Ajmal Kasab, known for his role in the tragic 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
Rajkummar Rao’s performance is expected to be powerful, with his ability to embody the character fully. His familiarity with Marathi adds an authentic touch to his role, and the film promises to feature impactful dialogues that are likely to resonate with audiences.
This isn’t the first time Rajkummar Rao has portrayed a lawyer; he previously took on a similar role in Shahid back in 2012. With his impressive range of performances, Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story is gearing up to be another significant entry in his filmography.
