Twenty-six years ago, the film Sangharsh released on the big screen, a project that was not a conventional Bollywood film, and a film which brought together elements of realism, creativity, and sentiment into a story that continues to resonate with those who watched it. Known for its scary villain played by Ashutosh Rana, its unconventional hero, and its fearless female lead, the film starring Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta also marked the debut of a child who would later go on to become an A-lister by the name of Alia Bhatt.
