Actor Akshay Kumar was recently seen in the film ‘Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue’ where he portrayed the role of Jaswant Singh Gill, a real-life unsung hero.
“Mission Raniganj is about 71 miners who were trapped three hundred and fifty feet below the coal mine and Sardar Jaswant Singh Gill who was an engineer and was there at that time. Some people from France and from the UK also came. They all said that it is impossible to get them out, they’re dead because there were almost trillion of gallons of water filled below with carbon dioxide sorted filling,” Akshay Kumar told ANI.
He added, “Then there comes a man who decides that I am going to save them. I don’t know if there is any person who knows that it’s sure death still he himself went down and took them out one by one and he himself came last. I have done so many films, this film won’t be a commercial success, but I can easily tell you it is the best film of my career. Ye meri sabse behtareen, sabse imaandaar, sabse sachchi aur sabse achi film hai. What matters to me is that I have made an honest film.”
