The highly anticipated film 'Aakhri Sawal,' starring Sanjay Dutt, is poised to become a landmark in Indian cinema.

The trailer launch event underscored this commitment, with deaf and mute children being specially invited. This initiative, a personal vision of Sanjay Dutt and producer Nikhil Nanda, saw children participate alongside a sign language interpreter, allowing them to fully experience the occasion.
Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Abhijeet Mohan Warang, 'Aakhri Sawal' is produced by Nikhil Nanda and Sanjay Dutt. The film, with story, screenplay, and dialogues by Utkarsh Naithani, is slated for a theatrical release on May 15, 2026.
