Talking about his character Kartik Sharma, Vikram Singh Chauhan shared, "Kartik is someone who walks away from his comfort, family, and everything familiar to chase something bigger – a sense of purpose. Portraying him was emotional and humbling because it reminded me that true courage isn't loud; it's quiet and relentless. What moved me the most was the eternal strength he carries, the kind you see in real soldiers who don't speak much but act when it matters. I truly hope this series sparks something in people, perhaps a pause, a tear, a sense of pride."
The show also features real army veterans, including former spy, sniper and National Security Guard commando Lucky Bisht; Colonel Rajeev Bharwan (AKA Mumma Sir); Lt Col Kaushalendra Singh, SM; Lt Col Paishal Manocha; Col RK Sharma, Kirti Chakra, Shaurya Chakra, Sena Medal (Gallantry) and Wing Commander Urvashi Rohilla, Indian Air Force.
Writer and creator Anandeshwar Dwivedi, who also essays a pivotal role in the series, expressed, "Creating 'Sena – Guardians of the Nation', along with one of the most creative minds of the country, has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences of my journey so far. It's not just a story about battles or men in uniform; it's also about fathers and sons, pride and regret, and the emotional cost of duty. As a showrunner I feel honoured to bring such a powerful story to life. I hope it moves viewers the way it moved us while making it."
Directed by Abhinav Anand, and written by Anandeshwar Dwivedi, 'Sena – Guardians of the Nation' is set to stream on August 13.

Lerone Murphy: From Manchester streets to UFC stardom – the making of 'The Miracle'
Image credit: Instragram Growing up in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, Lerone Murphy's childhood was a whirlwind of football, friends, and the occasional mischief. Living near Manchester United's iconic stadium meant the game was never far away. 'My childhood was crazy,' Murphy recalls. 'I used to love playing football, going out with friends. Sometimes we got into trouble, but it was fun. Football was a big part of my life.' But life in a deprived, rough area shaped him in ways beyond sport. 'It made me mentally resilient,' he says. 'I got into a lot of fights when I was younger, and that toughened me up.' For years, football seemed like his future—until a devastating knee injury at 16 changed everything. Playing in a cup final, Murphy suffered a serious blow. 'I blew my knee up, and that set me back,' he remembers. 'It took me away from sport altogether. Without that, I went down the wrong path.' Combat sports weren't initially on his radar, even though his uncle, Oliver Harrison, was a respected boxing trainer who worked with big names like Amir Khan. 'It was inspiring, seeing what he was doing,' Murphy says, 'but I never thought I'd be a fighter. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like All August Trades Earn Luxury Rewards Vantage Markets IN Register Undo I just wanted to be a footballer.' That changed when a gym opened in Manchester. Training with his cousin, Murphy discovered mixed martial arts—and instantly connected with it. 'It was love at first sight,' he admits. 'I'd always been into combat through things like anime and Street Fighter, but I'd never tried it. Once I did, I was hooked.' Murphy turned professional in 2016, and within three years, he was making his UFC debut—a rapid rise built on relentless dedication. 'I train every day. I don't do anything else but train or think about fighting,' he says. 'That's why I've grown so quickly.' But perhaps the most pivotal moment of his life came in 2013, when he was 21. Leaving a barbershop, Murphy was shot—a brush with death that would alter his path forever. 'It was a dark time,' he admits. 'But it was also the moment that changed me. If that didn't happen, who knows what I'd be doing now. As strange as it sounds, I'm happy it happened because it put me on the path to MMA.' That life-altering event earned him the nickname 'The Miracle,' a badge of resilience he carries into every fight. 'It reminds me I can get through anything,' he says. 'Even if things don't go your way, it doesn't mean it's the end. You can turn things around if you stay resilient.' Training at Manchester Top Team has been key to his continued growth. Surrounded by high-level fighters chasing the same dreams, Murphy has refined his skills while staying loyal to the team that shaped him. 'It's good to have that environment,' he says. 'It keeps you sharp.' For young people facing tough times, Murphy's message is simple but heartfelt: 'There's always light at the end of the tunnel. It's never over until it's over. If you're still here, you can change your situation. Keep good people around you, lean on them, and cut out the bad influences. That's the main thing.' Looking ahead, Murphy's ambitions are crystal clear. 'My goal is to be UFC champion—and defend it in Manchester. That's my dream.'

I was off the screen for three years; I have no regrets: Suraj Gowda
After his directorial debut Ninna Sanihake, Suraj Gowda took a three-year break from the big screen. That hiatus ends with his upcoming romantic thriller, by Gururaj Kulkarni, in which he stars opposite Sharanya Shetty . It was the strength of the screenplay, he says, that clinched the deal. 'CHOOSING TO STAY REAL IN A WORLD OF GLAMOUR' 'In those three years away from celluloid, I kept reminding myself to stay grounded. As actors, we have a responsibility to portray the raw and real side of life—not just its glitzy surface. Until you become a star, staying afloat isn't always easy. Work doesn't always come as often as you'd like, and there were moments I wondered if the wait would go on forever. But it's important to snap out of such thoughts and stay rooted in reality. To keep my spirits high, I began writing scripts for my directorial and committed to a rigorous fitness routine. Because when you're working out, you have to be fully present— your mind can't wander. That discipline has paid off; this role required me to bulk up, and soon after, I plan to start my next directorial. In the end, it all worked out for the best,' he observes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Diversify your portfolio with Edelweiss NFO Edelweiss Mutual Fund AMC Undo 'CHOOSING THE WRONG PROJECT CAN SET YOU BACK SEVERAL STEPS' The industry has its priorities right—films run on numbers, business, and a winning horse. Until you become someone people are willing to bet on, the key is to keep yourself motivated. I'm not the kind to sulk and ask why no one is picking me. Choosing the wrong project can set you back several steps, so I decided it was better to wait than accept something that wasn't right. The industry is simply doing what it must—it's up to us to keep pace,' Suraj tells us. 'SU FROM SO IS A MOTIVATION FOR SMALL INVESTORS' Small films need to win for investors to gain the confidence to back actors who aren't yet stars. Su from So didn't have big names, but it had great content. I'm so glad it will now encourage investors to support smaller films, giving emerging actors the platform to prove their worth. In a climate where the industry is hungry for hits, successful small films are the best motivation. I hope more people step forward to help aspiring actors realise their dreams. That's my biggest takeaway from my three-year break,' Suraj says. "Get the latest news updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie Coolie and War 2 ."
