Sony LIV is one of the trending OTT platforms that brings us a lot of interesting films. Now, the streaming giant comes up with a fictional show The Waking of a Nation. Billed to be a gripping series created and directed by National Award-winning and International Emmy nominated filmmaker Ram Madhvani, it will stream from 7th March only on Sony LIV.

Set against the backdrop of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, Kantilal Sahni played by Taaruk Raina, a lawyer, is thrust into a web of colonial deceit. As the Hunter commission distorts history to serve the ruling empire, Kantilal grapples with racism, erasure, and the fight for truth.

“I have always been deeply interested in colonialism and, by extension, the issues of racism and prejudice. As I was contemplating my next project, I knew it had to be rooted in our past, in the British Raj, and in our freedom struggle. That’s when the idea has come up," shared Ram Madhwani, about the project.

The series combined a courtroom drama with a story of three friends.

Produced by Ram Madhvani and Amita Madhvani under the Ram Madhvani Films banner , the series features a stellar ensemble cast, including Taaruk Raina, Nikita Dutta, Sahil Mehta, Bhawsheel Singh, Alex Reece, and Paul McEwan amongst others.
