First Look: Azad Bharath Poster Reveals Shreyas Talpade and Roopa Iyer  Neera Arya Biopic Set for Jan 2, 2026

The debut poster of Azad Bharath, featuring Shreyas Talpade and Roopa Iyer, has been officially released ahead of the film’s theatrical launch on January 2, 2026. This historical biographical drama brings to light the overlooked life of Neera Arya, one of the earliest female intelligence operatives linked to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s Azad Hind Fauj. The film promises a moving cinematic homage to India’s independence struggle and its often forgotten heroes.

Azad Bharath is an upcoming Indian period biopic that presents the powerful yet largely unknown journey of Neera Arya, a trailblazing woman who served as an intelligence agent during the freedom movement. By revisiting her role within the Azad Hind Fauj, the film sheds light on the bravery and sacrifices of women freedom fighters whose contributions have rarely been acknowledged in mainstream historical accounts.

Shreyas Talpade and Roopa Iyer play central roles in the film, with the newly unveiled first look poster gaining attention for its gritty, era-appropriate visuals. Set during a crucial phase of India’s fight for independence, the narrative delves into themes of covert operations, nationalism, and the personal toll of rebellion against colonial rule.

Slated for release on January 2, 2026, Azad Bharath is designed as a grounded historical portrayal rather than a dramatized or fictional adaptation. Through Neera Arya’s experiences in the Azad Hind Fauj, the film aims to inform younger audiences while paying respectful tribute to a neglected chapter of India’s freedom movement through meaningful storytelling.
