The eagerly anticipated trailer for “Sankalp,” a socio-political thriller series, was released today and sparked online discussions. The series, available for free on Amazon MX Player starting March 11, 2026, marks Nana Patekar’s OTT debut. “Sankalp” is directed, written by Prakash Jha, and produced by Jyoti Deshpande (Jio Studios) and Dishaa Jhaa (PJP Films Productions).
The narrative explores “power” and “ideology” and examines how people pay for their beliefs. In the trailer sneak peek, we see the Guru has raised expectations through its concept, which presents a silent character who must make moral choices between different forms of authority. The series’s focus on “Sanskaar, Satta, Samarpan” (Values, Authority, and Dedication) hints at the layers that shape its visibility within the system.
The official trailer crackles with tension, then introduces an Ekalavya factor, who defiantly rejects the tradition of Guru Dakshina. Seamlessly weaving motifs from ancient Indian epics into a contemporary narrative, the series hints at a gripping exploration of how timeless legends and values might influence the political landscape of modern India.
Who is in the cast?
Nana Patekar anchors the series as Ma’at Saab, a commanding master strategist and educator whose presence shapes the series’ narrative. Nana Patekar’s strength remains in his presence. Aditya Verma is played by Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub, who shows strong allegiance to his master, embodying the character of Ekalavya; however, this time, Ekalavya turns out to be rebellious. Sanjay Kapoor and Neeraj Kabi portray Prashant Singh and Waqar Mapillah, respectively, and challenge the protagonist’s vision in the power struggle that unfolds across the country. Kubbra Sait shines as Parveen Shaikh, whose actions influence the very political landscape, while Kranti Prakash Jha rounds out the main cast as Kasturi, a key member whose role adds further complexity to the ensemble.
