Pratik Gandhi Leads Espionage Drama Saare Jahan Se Accha On Netflix, To Stream From THIS Date
Set against the turbulent backdrop of the 1970s, Netflix's upcoming series Saare Jahan Se Accha unveils a gripping tale of espionage, sacrifice, and national duty. Pratik Gandhi stars as the meticulous and resilient intelligence officer Vishnu Shankar in this fictional drama, which offers a tense, mission-based story brought to life by a standout ensemble cast including Sunny Hinduja, Suhail Nayyar, Kritika Kamra, Tillotama Shome, Rajat Kapoor and Anup Soni. Premiering August 13, the series is created by Gaurav Shukla and produced by Bombay Fables, with Bhavesh Mandalia as the creative producer.
Saare Jahan Se Accha delves into the high-stakes world of intelligence where the slightest delay in relaying critical information could alter the nation's fate. Entrusted with a perilous mission to sabotage a looming nuclear threat, Vishnu must navigate a treacherous landscape to ensure India remains one step ahead of its adversaries.
Pratik Gandhi shares, 'With Saare Jahan Se Accha, we've built a world that's urgent, intense, intimidating, and full of quiet tension. Playing intelligence officer Vishnu Shankar, someone who walks the tightrope between duty and morality, was one of the most challenging roles I've taken on. Can't wait for the audience to step into this world of espionage with us! "
A tribute to the brilliance and quiet courage of India's intelligence community, Saare Jahan Se Accha celebrates the sharp minds and unwavering resilience of those who protect the nation from the shadows — where victories may not be seen, but are always felt.
The series has been written by Bhavesh Mandalia, Gaurav Shukla, Meghna Srivastava, Abhijeet Khuman, Shivam Shankar, Kunal Kushwah and Ishraq Shah.
Pratik Gandhi was last seen in the biographical drama Phule, where he played social reformer Jyotirao Phule, with Patralekhaa as Savitribai Phule. The film, directed by Ananth Mahadevan, was released on April 25, 2025, coinciding with the 197th birth anniversary of Jyotirao Phule, following a short delay due to CBFC-recommended changes related to caste references. Co-produced by Dancing Shiva Films, Kingsmen Productions, and Zee Studios, Phule received positive reviews for its grounded and historically accurate narrative.

Nitesh Tiwari Spent 10 Years On Ramayana Script, Studied Yoga Shastra And Consulted Pandits: Report
Nitesh Tiwari spent a decade researching and scripting his epic Ramayana, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and music by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer. Nitesh Tiwari, known for films like Dangal and Chhichhore, has been quietly working for ten years on his epic retelling of the Ramayana. Every line, scene and dialogue has been meticulously crafted since 2015. According to a report in TOI, Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra spent years studying the Vashisht Yoga Shastras and consulting with pandits to weave spiritual wisdom into a story that speaks to today. The idea is to make the emotional journey of Ram relatable while honouring its ancient roots. The cast is star-studded. Ranbir Kapoor takes on Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi plays Sita, Yash is Ravana, Ravi Dubey becomes Lakshman, and Sunny Deol portrays Hanuman. Supporting cast includes Amitabh Bachchan, Rakul Preet Singh, Kunal Kapoor, Lara Dutta, Arun Govil and Sheeba Chadha. Their vision was unveiled in a teaser that paired glimpses of Ranbir and Yash with a powerful score by Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman — marking what may be Indian cinema's most ambitious East-meets-West collaboration. Filming began only after the script felt ready. Tech rehearsals were held in Los Angeles in 2024, while elaborate sets—over a dozen of them—were built back in India. Many have now been dismantled to make way for post‑production. The film also brings in co-director Ravi Udyawar and VFX by DNEG, the Oscar‑winning studio behind Inception and Interstellar. Tiwari's Ramayana will arrive in two parts—first in Diwali 2026 and the second in Diwali 2027. The first instalment will explore Ram and Sita's early lives, their exile and Hanuman's entry. The second will focus on Ravana and the epic final battle. Ranbir Kapoor has locked Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027 for Ramayana Part 1 and Ramayana Part 2. The film's first poster has been released along with the release date. Ranbir plays the role of Lord Ram. The two-part films are directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The release date was confirmed by Prime Focus Studios' Namit Malhotra. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
