The creators of the upcoming war drama 120 Bahadur have introduced a special edition My Stamp to pay homage to the valour of the soldiers from the 13th Battalion of the Kumaon Regiment, Indian Army, who fought heroically in the Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 India-China war. Actor Farhan Akhtar shared images from the event on Instagram, writing, “There’s no better way to honour the bravery and sacrifice of our martyred soldiers. Today, the Indian Postal Service paid tribute to the Battle of Rezang La by releasing a new commemorative stamp. Grateful to Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh ji for inaugurating it.”

The stamp was officially launched in New Delhi by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, accompanied by Jitendra Gupta (Director General, Postal Services), filmmaker Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai, Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani, Amit Chandrra, and Arhan Bagati. The customised My Stamp, issued by the Department of Posts, highlights the courage and sacrifice of the Rezang La heroes ahead of the battle’s 63rd anniversary. The Rezang La War Memorial in Chushul, Ladakh, continues to stand as a solemn symbol of their extraordinary heroism and enduring spirit.

Inspired by the Battle of Rezang La, 120 Bahadur stars Farhan Akhtar as Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, the Param Vir Chakra awardee who led the 13 Kumaon Regiment in their heroic stand against overwhelming Chinese forces in 1962. The film, directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar (Excel Entertainment), and Amit Chandrra (Trigger Happy Studios), is set to release in theatres on 21st November.
