Gill was tasked with rescuing 65 miners who had been trapped underground for over 60 hours after a coal mine collapse. He and his team worked tirelessly for days, overcoming numerous challenges to eventually rescue all of the trapped miners.

Akshay Kumar’s comments are a refreshing change from the usual Bollywood rhetoric, where commercial success is often seen as the only measure of a film’s worth. Mission Raniganj is a biographical drama based on the true story of Jaswant Singh Gill, a mining engineer who led India’s first successful coal mine rescue mission in November 1989.
Akki’s passion for the project is evident in his comments, and it will be interesting to see how the film is received by audiences. Even if it is not a commercial success, Mission Raniganj is sure to be a memorable and inspiring film.
