Overview

• The Maddock Films production will focus on Nikam’s prosecution of the 1993 Bombay blasts and the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks rather than his entire career.
• Rajkummar Rao has undertaken intensive acting workshops to accurately capture Nikam’s courtroom presence.
• Director Avinash Arun chose a single-arc narrative to spotlight one defining legal battle instead of a cradle-to-grave life story.
• Principal photography is slated to begin in October 2025 and wrap by March 2026 under a start-to-finish schedule.
• The team is targeting a second-half 2026 release as part of Maddock Films’ expansion into genre-specific true-story projects.
