After playing a real-life hero in films like 바카라˜Airlift바카라™ and 바카라˜PadMan바카라™, actor Akshay Kumar is now slated to play Sardar Jaswant Singh Gill, who rescued miners in an operation in 1989, in a biopic which will be backed by Pooja Entertainment.
The film is expected to tell the heroic story of Jaswant Singh Gill, a mining engineer, who saved 65 miners in what was India바카라™s first coal mine rescue. To commemorate the day, November 16 is also marked as 바카라˜Rescue Day바카라™
On the occasion, Union Minister of Coal and Mines, Pralhad Joshi, remembered Late Sardar Jaswant Singh Gill for rescuing 65 workers from a flooded coal mine, in 1989 by tweeting his photo. Akshay replied on the same and shared his excitement about playing the real hero.
Akshay tweeted, 바카라œGrateful to you @JoshiPralhad ji, for recalling India바카라™s first coal mine rescue mission 바카라“ this day 33yrs ago. मेरा सौà¤à¤¾à¤—à¥à¤¯ है कि मैं #SardarJaswantSinghGill जी का किरदार अपनी फ़िलà¥à¤® में निà¤à¤¾ रहा हूà¤. It바카라™s a story like no other!바카라
Vashu Bhagnani of Pooja Entertainment also shared that it is a privilege to be able to showcase this story through his film. 바카라œRemembering Late #SardarJaswantSinghGill on this day, who rescued the lives of miners who were stuck in the coal mines of Raniganj under very difficult circumstances. It is indeed an honour and privilege to showcase his heroic act in our next film,바카라 he tweeted.
The film will also be a reunion for Akshay with his 바카라˜Rustom바카라™ director Tinu Suresh Desai. The edge-of-the-seat drama is set for a release in 2023. It was in July this year that Akshay바카라™s first look as a turban-clad sardar was unveiled while the team was filming in London.
