Ever since, its teaser launch (and later the trailer), Hotstar Special’s upcoming series Special Ops has become one of the most awaited digital shows coming from India. Neeraj Pandey, the man behind movies like A Wednesday, Baby, Special Chabbees, etc., is handling the project.
Special Ops is a fictional story based on the real happening in India. It is about the capturing of the mastermind behind the Parliament attack and 26/11 Mumbai blasts. The makers describe the series as one of the largest manhunt done by Indian intelligence.
Coming to the story and its digital arrival, the director Neeraj Pandey says that it was meant to arrive in this platform. It has nothing to do with Neeraj’s last film turning out to be a turkey at the box office and him resorting to a different medium. The story, due to its inherent vastness, has decided the platform not the other way around.The acting pool of Special Ops comprises of numerous acclaimed names like Kay Kay Menon, Sharad Kelkar, Vinay Pathak, Divya Dutta, Meher Vij, Karan Tacker etc. Special Ops will stream from March 17th on Hotstar Premium. Neeraj Pandey and Shivam Nair (Naam Shabana fame) co-direct the series.
