Filmmaker Onir to helm a series based on the 2019 Pulwama terror attack

SonyLiv will soon be releasing a brand new web series based on the 2019 Pulwama terror attack, in which dozens of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were martyred. The series is titled, 'Pulwama Key No. 1026' and will be helmed by filmmaker Onir.

It is a eight-episode series which is based on journalist and author Rahul Pandita's book 'The Lover Boy of Bahawalpur'. The book unfolds how security forces traced the conspiracy behind the Pulwama attack.

A statement from the makers said, the series will pay homage to the brave hearts and the NIA team who painstakingly investigated the attack. It is a tribute to all those martyrs whose dreams were blown to smithereens the minute the suicide bomber's car hit the bus.

Filmmaker Onir, said the attack not just claimed the lives of 40 CRPF jawans but also "broke India and its people."

The show is being billed as a riveting, emotional tale of an incident that left the entire nation devastated, and is the story about the men and women who worked tirelessly to find the truth.

At least 40 CRPF personnel were killed in Pulwama when a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into their bus on February 14, 2019.
