Akshay Kumar’s turban-clad Jaswant Singh Gill is the only man who can rescue 65 workers stuck underground in the aftermath of a coal mine collapse in the trailer of Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue.

Dropped on Monday, the two-minute-15-second-long video begins with a gruesome accident leading to a large group of miners trapped inside a flooded coal mine. Even after the rescue team concludes that the miners are already dead, Gill is not a person to give up hope so easily. “Even if there’s a single life breathing down there…it is waiting for us,” he says, leading from the front a thrilling rescue operation. When one of Gill’s superiors asks him if the technique had been used in a rescue mission earlier, Akshay’s character confidently replies,“No, sir, India will be the first one.”

Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, Mission Raniganj is based on a real-life incident that happened in November 1989 in Raniganj, West Bengal, when 65 workers found themselves trapped inside a collapsed coal mine.

Produced by Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Vashu Bhagnani and Ajay Kapoor, Mission Raniganj also stars Parineeti Chopra, Ravi Kishan and Kumud Mishra in key roles. It is slated to hit theatres on October 6.
