The web series will be streaming on SonyLIV from November 15, 2024. The show comprises a total of seven episodes. 

While sharing the trailer of the movie, Nikkhil wrote on Instagram “Here it is!!! The History You May Not Know The History You Should Know Presenting the trailer of the electrifying story of India’s Independence.” 

Nikkhil Advani said, “Casting for this project was no easy feat, it was critical to find actors who could truly embody these iconic leaders. Kavish, our casting director, was brilliant in identifying the right talent, and the prosthetics done by Jagdish Dada & team, made sure the transformations were seamless”.

“Nehru’s character was the last to be cast for the show. We needed someone who could truly embody Pandit Nehru, and while Sidhant’s talent was undeniable, it was his striking resemblance, especially his nose, to Nehru Ji that sealed the deal,” he added.
