Madhvani stated, “This series transcends entertainment; it’s my tribute to India’s rich history and the struggles we’ve endured. Telling the story against the backdrop of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the concealed conspiracy around it holds immense personal importance for me. I’m proud of the distinctive storytelling approach I’ve implemented and thrilled to work with Sony LIV and my talented cast. Our team at Ram Madhvani films eagerly anticipates how audiences will respond to this compelling tale of bravery and resilience.”
Taaruk Raina, speaking about his role, shared, “Being involved in ‘The Waking of a Nation’ has been one of my career’s most meaningful experiences. This series is a tribute to the many often-overlooked individuals who sacrificed for India’s freedom. Portraying Kantilal Sahni, a man torn between duty and truth, has been both a challenge and a privilege. This narrative is not only historical; it emphasizes the courage to pursue justice against the odds. I hope the series serves as a testament to the resilience and sacrifices that formed our nation.”
Written by Shantanu Srivastava, Shatrujeet Nath, and Ram Madhvani, ‘The Waking of a Nation’ is produced by Ram Madhvani and Amita Madhvani and will premiere on March 7 on Sony LIV.
