Lalit Prabhakar Plays Ajmal Kasab In Prahaar
Prabhakar is now stepping into one of the most talked-about roles of his career with Prahaar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story. The film stars Rajkummar Rao as special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and is based on the high-profile 26/11 Mumbai terror attack trial.
