Producer Nikkhil Advani is all set to produce a webseries about the whole historical procedure leading up to the freedom of India. Produced in association with StudioNext, the much anticipated series is based on the Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins’ iconic all-time international best seller ‘Freedom at Midnight’. It promises to be an epic political thriller/drama that highlights several incidents from the year of India’s independence from the British Empire and interconnected stories about crucial events and personalities as they play a significant role in writing the country’s history as we know it today.
Producer & Showrunner Nikkhil Advani says, “The year 1947 has been etched in India’s history as the year that shaped its fate. A riveting, emotional tale of an incident that altered the course of the nation, ‘Freedom at Midnight’ is an attempt to bring to Indians the whole truth about the events that led us to our freedom – the courage, and the hope instilled in people by the personages who gave us the new India.
“This is a story every Indian should know, and I feel honoured to be able to tell it along with my partners, Monisha Advani and Madhu Bhojwani, and the team of writers, along with StudioNext. It is even more special for Emmay Entertainment that we get to bring this story to SonyLIV after our successful stint with Rocket Boys. The platform has been at the forefront of narrating the stories of our homeland, and I look forward to associating with them on this project too,” adds Nikkhil Advani.
