“We have been working on this project for five years. It’s a story that deserves to be shared and known by everyone, hence we are making it first as a web-series with 20 episodes being planned at the moment. We are in talks with two major streaming platforms for it,” said Nadiadwala while talking about his project. “This is first of its kind of a project and hence it has taken a lot of time not just in research but also on planning and execution. We have Nana Patekar playing Mr Kao. We are in talks with other actors. An announcement regarding the cast and crew of the series will be made soon,” he added.
The story will show all true events including how Mr Kao was the head of Intelligence Bureau and then was appointed as the chief of RAW by former prime ministers, Indira Gandhi ji and Jawaharlal Nehru ji. This real life story will also depict how missions were executed in India and abroad by RAW to protect our national security.
