Its teaser was unveiled to make the announcement, giving a glimpse into the high-octane world of the show, which is set against the backdrop of the 1999 Kargil war and tells the story of Golden Arrows Squadron of the Indian Air Force. They conducted air operations at high altitudes which helped the Indian army to tackle Pakistani forces during the war. The teaser shows visuals from the war as pilots are seen getting training and engaging in action.
The show is produced by Matchbox Shots and Feel Good Films. Speaking about it, Sanjay Routray of Matchbox Shots LLP said in a statement, “Some chapters in our nation’s history demand more than remembrance- they deserve to be brought to life with honesty and scale. Operation Safed Sagar is one such story that reminds us that the greatest acts of heroism are often driven by duty, sacrifice, and humanity. When Kushal Shrivastva brought us this extensively researched script, we knew it deserved to be told on the scale it demands.”
Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, added, “This is a first of its kind war drama series from India that will take the audience into the world of airforce pilots. Their lives, their bravery and the split-second decision-making that goes into keeping our borders safe. All this along with a truly cinematic scale, world-class production values and visual effects makes this series a truly authentic and immersive experience.”
