Mumbai: Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut recently announced the release date of her upcoming film ‘Bharat Bhagya Vidhata’, describing it as a tribute to India’s “real heroes.”
Sharing the first poster, Kangana hinted that the film will bring to light an untold and inspiring story, focusing on individuals whose contributions have largely remained unheard.
The poster carries bold headlines like “Mumbai under attack” and “Hospitals in Mumbai on high alert.”
It also shows hospital staff taking cover from attackers even as they continue to save lives.
Sharing the poster, Kangana took to Instagram on Wednesday and wrote, “Extraordinary story of ordinary people! The story of the night, when humanity stood taller than fear. When responsibility became sacrifice. When unity became duty. And courage saved lives. The untold story of India’s real heroes.”

Inspired by true events, the film narrates the story of “the night when humanity stood taller than fear, and responsibility became an act of courage. While terror claimed lives outside, inside Cama Hospital, 400 lives were saved.”
It highlights the real-life courage of hospital staff, from nurses and ward boys to cleaners, lift operators, security personnel and administrative workers, representing every layer of the hospital system, who stood their ground amid armed violence and ensured that humanity and the spirit of Bharat endured.
Speaking about the film, Kangana said, “We usually celebrate big, dramatic acts of heroism, but real courage is much quieter, it steps in, stays back, and does what needs to be done. Bharat Bhagya Vidhata tells an untold story of courage, sacrifice, humanity, and unity, of ordinary people who stood between terror and life itself. This is desh bhakti in its truest sense, where duty turns into action. I feel proud to be part of a story that pays tribute to those who held the city together in its toughest moments, and I’m excited for audiences to watch it on the big screen on 12th June.”
Writer-director Manoj Tapadia added, “On June 12, audiences will witness a tense, emotional, and deeply human thriller. But at its core, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata is about something much larger than terror, it is about the triumph of courage over fear, compassion over chaos, and sacrifice in the face of danger. It tells the story of ordinary people, especially women, who made extraordinary life-and-death choices when it mattered most. For me, this film is about honouring the unsung heroes who remind us that true bravery often comes from the most unexpected places.”
Presented by Jayantilal Gada, the film is backed by Pen Studios, Manikarnika Films and Paramhans Creations, in collaboration with Eunoia Films LLP and Floating Rocks Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.
Helmed by writer-director Manoj Tapadia, the film will be distributed by Pen Marudhar.
Apart from Kangana, the film also stars Girija Oak, Smita Tambe, Amrutha Namdev, Esha Dey, Priya Berde, Asha Shelar, Suhita Thatte, Rasika Aghase, Aditya Mishra and Zahid Khan, and is set to release on June 12.
