Award-winning director Oni Sen, the mastermind behind the OTT blockbuster Asur, is making a highly anticipated comeback with Safed Sagar, a Netflix war drama inspired by the real-life Operation Safed Sagar during the 1999 Kargil War.
Featuring a stellar cast including Siddharth, Abhay Varma, Dia Mirza, and Jimmy Sheirgill, the series promises to bring this intense military operation to life. Asur set a new standard in Indian web shows with its unique blend of crime thriller and mythology, making its first two seasons a massive success. Naturally, expectations for Safed Sagar are sky-high.
The series will delve into the 47-day-long Indian Air Force mission, showcasing the precision bombing and strategic execution that played a crucial role in reclaiming territory. With extensive research, a gripping narrative, and a commitment to authenticity, Safed Sagar has the potential to strike a deep chord with audiences.
Filming has already wrapped, and fans are now eagerly waiting to see if Safed Sagar can recreate—or even surpass—the magic of Asur.
