But did you know? The film was originally titled 'Mission Raniganj: The Great Indian Rescue' before being renamed 'Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue'. The title was changed barely a day before the teaser was released, and the decision was made to show respect for the government's decision to change India from Bharat.
