Set in the course of the 1999 Kargil War, the series follows the untold story of the Golden Arrows Squadron, highlighting the courage, sacrifice and determination of the personnel involved. Moderately than focusing solely on the battlefield, the drama explores the people behind the mission and their contribution to a defining chapter in India’s modern military history.
Netflix’s Kargil drama Operation Safed Sagar set to premiere on August 7
Directed by Oni Sen and created by Abhijeet Singh Parmar and Kushal Srivastava, Operation Safed Sagar features an ensemble forged including Siddharth, Jimmy Shergill, Abhay Verma, Dia Mirza, Prajakta Koli, Adil Hussain, Mihir Ahuja, Taaruk Raina, Arnav Bhasin and Amrita Bagchi.
Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India said, “At Netflix, we’re committed to championing daring, original stories that have not been told before. Operation Safed Sagar is a story the Indian Air Force has trusted us to inform, a first-of-its-kind series inspired by the IAF’s role within the Kargil War. It’s a tribute to the courage, camaraderie and sacrifice of The Golden Arrows, a squadron that went beyond the decision of duty, in service of the nation. This can be a first of its kind war drama series from India that may take the audience into the world of airforce pilots. Their lives, their bravery and the split-second decision-making that goes into keeping our borders secure. All this together with a really cinematic scale, world-class production values and visual effects makes this series a really authentic and immersive experience. Bringing this story to life is director Oni Sen, alongside a young, fresh creative team of creators and co producers Abhijeet Singh Parmar, Kushal Srivastava and Mehboob Pal Singh Brar and a forged that blends recent faces with veteran talent. We’re proud to team up with Matchbox Shots once more, a studio that shares our passion for powerful, character-led storytelling.”
Abhijeet Singh Parmar and Mehboob Pal Singh Brar from Feel Good Movies said, “What drew us to creating and producing Operation Safed Sagar was the chance to explore a world that only a few people get to see from the within, a world that opened as much as us through our Co-Creator Kushal Srivastava’s experience within the Indian Air Force. As we explored the lives of Air Force pilots, their families and the people around them, we realised that beyond the conflict and the mission, this was ultimately a story about friendship, sacrifice, leadership and unattainable selections. Whether it was recreating this world across greater than 100 locations, including filming at over 16,000 feet, or bringing together a big ensemble forged and extensive visual effects, our endeavour was all the time to balance scale with intimate human drama.”
Sanjay Routray of Matchbox Shots LLP said, “Some chapters in our nation’s history demand greater than remembrance- they need to be dropped at life with honesty and scale. Operation Safed Sagar is one such story that reminds us that the best acts of heroism are sometimes driven by duty, sacrifice, and humanity. When Kushal Shrivastva brought us this extensively researched script, we knew it deserved to be told on the dimensions it demands. The story finely balances large-scale military motion with deeply personal moments of heroism. We’re thrilled to partner with Netflix to bring this powerful story to audiences around the globe.”
Produced by Matchbox Shots and Feel Good Movies, Operation Safed Sagar serves as a tribute to the boys and girls of the Indian Air Force whose service, commitment and sense of duty proceed to encourage generations. The series will begin streaming exclusively on Netflix from August 7.
