It’s a noiseless war. The trailer of Pratik Gandhi, Sunny Hinduja and Tillotama Shome starrer espionage series Saare Jahan Se Accha was unveiled by the makers on Monday. Directed by Sumit Purohit, the show has been created by Gaurav Shukla and produced by Bombay Fables.
The trailer gives us a glimpse into the life of Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) agent Vishnu Shankar (Pratik). Immediately after his marriage (Tillotama plays his Bengali wife), he is posted in enemy country Pakistan. A battle of wits ensues as Vishnu has to outsmart ISI agent Murtaza Mallik and prevent Pakistan from becoming a nuclear country. The series is set in the 1970s.
Speaking about his role, Pratik said, “There’s no room for error in Vishnu’s world. Every move is calculated, every emotion buried. What drew me in was the intensity beneath the stillness and the emotional toll of being invisible, yet fighting for India. I am thrilled audiences can finally step into that world with this trailer.”
Sunny Hinduja, who plays Vishnu’s calculating adversary, added, “This isn’t a black-and-white conflict. My character Murtaza is highly disciplined, dangerous & his only mission is to serve his nation just like Vishu. Our face-off is less about brute strength and more about who can stay a step ahead. It’s as personal as it is strategic.”
Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, shared, “Saare Jahan Se Accha is a gripping spy thriller set against the backdrop of one of the most defining decades in Indian history - the 1970s. What sets this series apart is its unique perspective, we chose to tell the story through the eyes of those who worked behind the scenes, the unsung heroes whose grit, determination, and quiet sacrifices paved the way for our pride and victory.”
The show also features Suhail Nayyar, Kritika Kamra, Rajat Kapoor, and Anup Soni.
It will start streaming on Netflix from August 13.
