The trailer of Amazon MX Player’s upcoming show, Sena—The Guardians of the Nation was unveiled by the makers on Monday. It is set to premiere on August 13 on the streaming platform. The show is directed by Abhinav Anand, and written by Anandeshwar Dwivedi and also stars Vikram Singh, Anupam Bhattacharya, Neelu Dogra and Funcho in pivotal roles.
It is the first action genre series backed by TVF. The trailer gives a stirring look into the life of Kartik Sharma, a young man who leaves behind the promise of a lucrative career in California to wear the soldier’s uniform, a decision that puts him at odds with his father. It gives a glimpse into what it takes to clear the Armed Forces Academy selection exams. Kartik finds himself posted in the tense, unpredictable terrain of Kashmir. The series moves between the past and the present, showing Kartik’s gruelling SSB journey, his fractured relationship with his father, and the ultimate test of courage and resilience behind enemy lines.
The show also features real army veterans, including Former spy, sniper and National Security Guard commando, Lucky Bisht; Colonel Rajeev Bharwan (AKA Mumma Sir); Lt Col Kaushalendra Singh, SM; Lt Col Paishal Manocha; Col RK Sharma, Kirti Chakra, Shaurya Chakra, Sena Medal (Gallantry) and Wing Commander Urvashi Rohilla, Indian Air Force.
Talking about his character Kartik Sharma, Vikram Singh Chauhan shared, "Kartik is someone who walks away from his comfort, family, and everything familiar to chase something bigger – a sense of purpose. Portraying him was emotional and humbling because it reminded me that true courage isn’t loud, it’s quiet and relentless. What moved me the most was the eternal strength he carries, the kind you see in real soldiers who don’t speak much, but act when it matters. I truly hope this series sparks something in people, perhaps a pause, a tear, a sense of pride."
Writer and Creator Anandeshwar Dwivedi, who also essays a pivotal role in the series, expressed, “Creating Sena – Guardians of the Nation, along with one of the most creative minds of the country, has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences of my journey so far. It’s not just a story about battles or men in uniform, it’s also about fathers and sons, pride and regret, and the emotional cost of duty. As a show runner I feel honoured to bring such a powerful story to life. I hope it moves viewers the way it moved us while making it.”
Vijay Koshy, President, TVF shared, “This series is one of the most heartfelt stories we’ve ever told. It’s about honour, pain, reconciliation, and the unspoken bravery that defines our soldiers. Collaborating with Amazon MX Player on this was a natural fit. They share our belief in creating meaningful, accessible content that connects with India at its core. We hope this story resonates across every home in India.”
