Rajkummar Rao, who plays the titular role of Ujjwal Nikam, has been at the centre of the film's promotional campaign. The actor recently joined Wamiqa Gabbi and the veteran prosecutor on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati, giving the upcoming film a nationwide promotional push. Their appearance on the popular quiz show offered audiences a chance to see the real-life inspiration alongside the actor portraying him on screen.
The team has also been busy making appearances across Mumbai as the theatrical release draws closer. The Prahaar trailer launch brought together the principal cast and Ujjwal Nikam, who have been sharing their excitement about bringing his remarkable legal career to the big screen. With a story rooted in some of India's most closely watched courtroom battles, the film is expected to combine the intensity of a legal drama with the personal journey of the man behind several landmark prosecutions.
Prahaar follows Ujjwal Nikam's journey as a Special Public Prosecutor and focuses on some of the most challenging cases he handled during his career. The narrative includes the 1993 Bombay blasts case and the prosecution of Ajmal Kasab, one of the surviving terrorists from the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Rajkummar's transformation into the acclaimed prosecutor has already generated curiosity, particularly because the role requires him to portray a real figure whose courtroom career has been closely associated with some of India's defining criminal cases.
The film brings together a strong ensemble, with Wamiqa Gabbi, Jaideep Ahlawat and Sikandar Kher joining Rajkummar Rao in the courtroom drama. Their presence adds further weight to a story that promises to move beyond courtroom arguments and explore the people and circumstances surrounding some of the country's most significant legal battles. With Farah Khan also joining the promotional activities, the film's campaign has been steadily attracting attention across both Bollywood and the wider entertainment space.
With October 16, 2026 marked as its theatrical release date, Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam is now heading into the final stretch of its promotional journey. From its trailer launch to the team's Kaun Banega Crorepati appearance, the makers are leaving no stone unturned to introduce audiences to the story of the prosecutor whose courtroom battles became part of India's recent history. With Rajkummar Rao stepping into such a distinctive real-life role, the film is shaping up as one of the notable biographical dramas to watch this October.
