Delhi Confidential: Coffee power for SP war room; Rajkummar Rao stars as Ujjwal Nikam in new film

Delhi Confidential brings you exclusive insights into the inner workings of the capital's political landscape. Today's story focuses on two intriguing events: the caffeine-fueled SP election war room and the debut screening of a film starring Rajkummar Rao as public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam.

In the SP's war room, set up by party chief Akhilesh Yadav at party headquarters, election war room leaders and workers are supplied with an array of coffee varieties to keep them energized. Akshay Yadav, the Firozabad MP and a coffee enthusiast, is personally overseeing the preparations for the ongoing Uttar Pradesh legislative council and upcoming Assembly elections. The party's coffee lover generously shares his brew with others involved in the war room.

Meanwhile, a special screening of a film dedicated to the life and career of Ujjwal Nikam, a renowned special public prosecutor and BJP's Rajya Sabha MP, is being organized. The film, titled 'Prahaar — The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam', showcases Nikam's courtroom triumphs, particularly his 2008 Mumbai terror attack trial. A special screening was held at Delhi's Odeon cinema on Saturday, organized by Aniket Nikam, Ujjwal's son who is a BJP spokesperson in Mumbai.

The possibility of showing the film to MPs during the upcoming Winter Session of Parliament has also been considered. Rajkummar Rao takes on the role of Ujjwal Nikam in the film adaptation.
