Akshay Kumar’s Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue now has an OTT release date. The film premiered in theatres on October 6 and didn’t perform well at the box office. It could rake in only about Rs 31 crore.

Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, the film will drop on December 1 on Netflix. The OTT platform posted a teaser for the movie along with the announcement on their website.  Raniganj stars Akshay Kumar in the role of Jaswant Singh Gill, who, in 1989, saved the lives of 65 miners stuck in Mahabir colliery in West Bengal's Raniganj. Gill devised a special steel capsule using which the miners were rescued. He was awarded the Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha Padak for his bravery by the then President of India, Ramaswamy Venkataraman, in 1991.

Apart from Akshay, the film also stars Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, Pavan Malhotra, Dibyendu Bhattacharya Mukesh Bhatt, Akshay Verma, Ishtiyak Khan, Dinesh Lamba and Virendra Saxena.

It is produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, and Ajay Kapoor.
