Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue director talks about the film

Mission Raniganj is a film depicting a coal mine accident that sent shockwaves through the nation and the world. The film narrates the relentless efforts of the rescue team led by the valiant Jaswant Singh Gill (portrayed by Akshay Kumar).  To ensure that the visuals portrayed the authentic and relatable essence of this tragic incident, Desai and his team dug a hole about 40 feet deep into the earth.

Elaborating on the same, the director of the movie Tinu Suresh Desai said, "It was a challenging film to shoot, primarily because a significant portion was filmed on location. Given the film's subject matter, our goal was to maintain authenticity and relatability in the backdrop and setting. As a result, we collectively decided to excavate a hole underground, reaching depths of around 30 to 40 feet, resembling just the 1/10th portion of an actual coal mine." (with Inputs from IANS)
