Akshay Kumar’s next on a 1989 mining operation may now be called The Great Indian Rescue, reported Bollywood Hungama. For quite a while, the film was addressed as Capsule Gill.

According to a source quoted by the news portal, “The film is now called The Great Indian Rescue. The makers feel that it does justice to the plot of the film. Also, they believe that title mein dum hai (Also, they believe the title is a strong one). It is based on an incredible real rescue mission and what better title than The Great Indian Rescue.”

The film is based on the life of Jaswant Singh Gill, a former additional chief mining engineer who saved the lives of 65 people trapped in a flooded mine in Raniganj of West Bengal, in 1989. 


The Great Indian Rescue or Capsule Gill is directed by Tinu Suresh Desai and also stars Parineeti Chopra, Pavan Malhotra, and Rajesh Sharma. The film is scheduled to release in theatres in 2023.
