ZEE5 today dropped the official release date of its upcoming web series, State of Seige 26 11, on the horrifying terrorist attacks on Mumbai in November 2008.
The show is slated to drop on the streaming platform on 26th January 2020, India’s Republic Day.
We’ve long been reading about ZEE5’s web series on the attacks, popularly called the 26/11 terrorist attacks. While most of the content made on the horrific event is all about the terrorists and the victims, this is the first show of its kind to focus particularly on the bravery and courage of the elite NSG Commando force, which singlehandedly brought the dangerous terrorists at the two five star hotels down, shooting all of them dead.
ZEE5’s upcoming original web series will tell the story of the fightback launched by the NSG, the elite Commando force of the country, against the terrorists, in an operation titled Black Tornado Mission.
Arjan Bajwa is essaying the role of Colonel Kunal Sahota, the NSG brave heart in charge of the mission. The series is adapted from Sandeep Unnithan’s gripping novel based on the mission, called Black Tornado: The Three Sieges of Mumbai 26/11.
The streaming platform has regularly shared information, details and pictures with the media, about the cast, the narrative and lots more. All except the release date. Well, that information too was addressed today by ZEE5. The choice of release date is perfect, in conjunction with the patriotic theme of the show and the release date.
The series is produced and created by Abhimanyu Singh of Contiloe Pictures and co-created and directed by Matthew Leutwyler. Besides Bajwa, the series will feature Arjun Bijlani, Vivek Dahiya, Sid Makkar and Tara Alisha Berry, among others, in pivotal roles.
