On the evening of September 29, 2026, Maddock Films will unveil the trailer of Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai — reportedly the first full-fledged film trailer launch ever staged at the historic railway station. Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi, producer Dinesh Vijan, director Avinash Arun and Ujjwal Nikam himself are expected to attend, alongside Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
The venue choice is deliberate and deeply symbolic. CSMT was among the sites attacked during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, and Ajmal Kasab — the sole attacker captured alive — was prosecuted in a special court with Nikam serving as special public prosecutor. Prahaar revisits the landmark legal battles handled by Nikam, with the 26/11 prosecution at its core, making the station an emotionally charged backdrop for the film’s first public reveal.
The courtroom drama arrives in cinemas just over two weeks after tonight’s launch, so the campaign moves fast from here. Rajkummar Rao set the emotional tone ahead of the event with a short video reflecting on how some dates stay etched in the national memory — a promise that this trailer launch is a remembrance as much as a release.
