Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao is all set to step into the shoes of one of India’s most celebrated public prosecutors, Ujjwal Nikam. The much-anticipated biopic, titled Ujjwal Nikam, will go on floors in August 2025, marking the beginning of another intense and gripping performance by Rao, who is known for his transformative acting skills.
Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Shrisha Guha Thakurta, the film aims to chronicle the life and landmark cases of Ujjwal Nikam, the man behind the successful prosecution of high-profile cases like the 1993 Bombay blasts and the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Rao’s involvement in the project was announced earlier this year, creating buzz for his portrayal of the iconic lawyer known for his calm demeanor and unwavering pursuit of justice.

Sources close to the production have revealed that pre-production work is in full swing, and the actor has already begun preparing for the role, diving deep into Nikam’s courtroom style, speech patterns, and legal approach. The shoot is expected to kick off in Mumbai, with portions also being planned in Pune and Delhi to authentically depict real-life courtroom and political backdrops.
Produced by Junglee Pictures, Ujjwal Nikam promises to be more than just a courtroom drama—it aims to offer a powerful exploration of truth, justice, and the price of duty in modern India. With Rajkummar Rao headlining the project, expectations are sky-high for what could be one of the most compelling legal dramas in Hindi cinema.
More details about the supporting cast and release timeline are expected to be announced soon.
