The series is anchored in the politically charged 1970s and portrays a secret intelligence operation aimed at preventing an impending nuclear catastrophe.

Portraying the role of intelligence officer Vishnu Shankar, a character balancing duty and morality, Gandhi adds, "It was one of the most challenging roles I have embraced."

The series, directed by Sumit Purohit, delves into the high-stakes intelligence arena where any lapse in transmitting crucial data could decisively alter the course of the nation.
