Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani is all set to bring a historical drama that will delve into the stories of India’s freedom fighters Rash Behari Bose and Sachindra Nath Sanyal.
The upcoming web series aims to showcase their significant roles in the independence movement.
Reports say that Bhuvan Bam is portraying the Bengali revolutionary Rash Behari Bose and has already begun filming for the series. To get into character, he has even shaved off his moustache.
Rohit Saraf and Pratibha Ranta will also be seen in pivotal roles.
The team is currently shooting in Madh Island, Mumbai, on a specially designed set that replicates Bengal in the early 1900s. While the streaming platform has yet to be confirmed, sources indicate that the show might premiere on SonyLIV.
Nikkhil Advani has previously delivered successful projects for the platform, including Freedom at Midnight and Rocket Boys.
Bhuvan Bam is known for his comedy. Will he be able to convincingly take on a serious role? After establishing himself as a comedic actor, breaking out of that mold and proving himself in other genres is going to be a challenge.
Pratibha Ranta was amazing in Laapataa Ladies. She is one of the most talented newcomers in the industry lately. People have high expectations from her after the critically acclaimed film.
The premise of the project, as well as the cast, sounds promising. Fans are excited to see what the team has in store.
