Scam 1992 piqued your interest??A good chunk of credit goes to Hansal Mehta who directed the super hit series. Mehta is collaborating with SonyLIV once again for his next series, which is based on RK Yadav's book 'Mission R&AW.'?
The plot will expose covert intelligence operations and will also demonstrate how various strategies and actions of this nature have influenced our region's diplomacy. The web series will follow Rameshwar Nath Kao, the first chief of RAW, as he navigates the country's escalating situation with its neighbouring country.
Hansal stated that as a storyteller, he enjoys bringing stories to life and investigating ordinary people and their extraordinary actions. He went on to say that Rameshwar Nath Kao is a genius, but most people are unaware of what he has done for the country.
The release date has not been officially confirmed. But it will be made available on SonyLiv.
Danish Khan, Head of SonyLIV, Sony Entertainment Television and StudioNext stated that "We are delighted to have India's favourite storyteller, Hansal Mehta, to tell the story of Rameshwar Nath Kao, the founder of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW). Mission R&AW by RK Yadav is one of the most comprehensive books on our intelligence team and their operations. This series will be a compelling discovery of what it takes in the background to keep India safe and some real heroes of our nation who deserve to be celebrated."
For his film Shahid, Hansal Mehta received the 61st National Film Award for Best Direction. Following his success, he again collaborated with Rajkumar Rao on City Lights (an adaptation of British India hit Metro Manila).
Hansal said, "As a storyteller, my endeavour has always been to bring alive stories and explore ordinary people and their extraordinary actions. These are the men who have cemented our political and military history. Rameshwar Nath Kao was known to be a genius, about whom very little is known."
"I am thrilled to explore his story with the talented Karan Vyas and SonyLIV, who are such terrific partners. I am looking forward to kickstarting the project soon," he concluded.
It is reportedly being adapted for the screen by Karan Vyas. The series will be made by Almighty Motion Pictures, with Prabhleen Kaur Sandhu serving as producer.??
