Ujjwal Nikam, the public prosecutor who handled the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks case against Ajmal Kasab, has disclosed the conditions he set before allowing the filmmakers to adapt his story for the screen. Speaking to India Today, Nikam emphasized his demand for an unglorified portrayal of the legal proceedings, stating that no character, including himself, should be glorified.
The biographical courtroom drama, titled Prahaar – The Untold Story Of Ujjwal Nikam, stars Rajkummar Rao as Nikam. Nikam insisted that real names of all characters involved in the legal proceedings be used, and the makers obtained the necessary objections from the concerned parties, including Judge Madan Laxmandas Tahaliyani, who sentenced Kasab to death on May 6, 2010.
Prahaar praises Rajkummar Rao's portrayal of Nikam, who transformed his personality to match the lawyer's demeanor during the trial. Despite Nikam's reserved nature in real life, he was taken aback by Rao's commitment to embodying his character on screen.
