The recent Uttarakhand tunnel incident of 2023 remains vivid in our minds. On 12th November 2023, one section of the Silkyara-Barkot tunnel collapsed, trapping 41 construction workers inside. It took 17 days and tireless efforts of rescue team led by an Australian Rescue expert Arnold Dix to save them. A team of rat-hole miners in the rescue team broke through the debris and pushed a pipe to remove the workers one by one. Mission Raniganj, much like the Uttarakhand incident, showcases the tale of bravery and resilience. Bringing true events to screen and honoring the valor of India’s unsung heroes, Mission Raniganj brings to fore the essence of hope and taps into the human psyche and behavior when put in a life-threatening situation.
Akshay Kumar said, “Bringing Mission Raniganj to homes in India truly fills me with immense joy. This movie pays tribute to the unsung heroes who truly believe in the greater good, the people who don’t care about their lives when it comes to saving others. It is more than just entertainment. We want people to know Capsule Gill and his story. Being a part of this film has made me realize how these stories have the ability to uplift, inspire, and bring people together. Our goal with Mission Raniganj is to honor the true heroes who exist in every corner, every generation, every era. I would really like the audiences of India to tune into Zee Cinema for the World Television Premiere and witness the spirit of courage and hope come to life”
