Akshay Kumar comes to the rescue again, and this time he is saving 65 miners trapped 350 feet deep in rubble. The actor shared a motion poster of his upcoming movie Mission Raniganj, which is inspired by the heroic act of late Jaswant Singh Gill who led “India’s first coal mine rescue mission”. The film’s teaser will be released on Thursday.

Mission Raniganj is based on a real-life incident that occurred in Raniganj Coalfields, West Bengal, in 1989. 64 miners found themselves trapped in a flooded coal mine, and Jaswant Singh risked his own life to save theirs. In the film, Akshay will portray the role of Jaswant.

Akshay shared a motion poster of the movie on Instagram and wrote, “In 1989, one man achieved the impossible! Watch the story of Bharat’s true hero with #MissionRaniganj in cinemas on 6th October. Teaser out tomorrow.”
