Dara Singh is seen prominently in the poster carrying a Gada (mace) and sparring with Duryodhana, while an epic battle ensues in the background. The top of the poster features a line in Devanagari Hindi that translates as, “Made by the effort of millions, An epic religious film.”
As per the Mahabharata, Bhima is the second born among five brothers (Pandavas). During the great Kurukshetra war, Bhima single handedly killed hundred Kaurava brothers and was believed to possess the physical strength of 10,000 elephants.
The word Bhima in Sanskrit means “big” or “tall” and Dara Singh was aptly chosen to essay his role in the film. With over 500 professional fights to his credit – all undefeated – Dara Singh was awarded the titles “Rustum-e-Punjab” and “Rustum-e-Hind.” In an acting career that spanned over five decades, Dara Singh featured in over 140 films.
