The series is created by Gaurav Shukla and directed by Sumit Purohit, andfollows Vishnu (played byPratik Gandhi). Vishnu is shown to bean unassuming desk man who transforms into a razor-sharp undercover operative tasked with derailing a nuclear programme across the border. The six-part drama is not based on a single true account, yet it draws inspiration from real incidents, lending its fictional thrills a certain historic gravitas.
Unlike the often caricatured villains of mainstream spy fare, the series treats its antagonists with dignity and intellect. Sunny Hinduja’s portrayal of the ISI chief is both formidable and layered,a man as capable of strategic ruthlessness as he is of shedding tears for those dear to him. This nuanced adversary raises the stakes considerably, making Vishnu’s cat-and-mouse mission all the more compelling.
