Saare Jahan Se Accha / Netflix
Netflix has dropped the trailer for its upcoming espionage thriller Saare Jahan Se Accha, set to premiere on August 13, just ahead of India’s Independence Day.
Set in the tense geopolitical climate of the 1970s, the series follows Vishnu Shankar, a dedicated officer of India’s Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), as he embarks on a high-stakes mission deep within Pakistan. His objective: to stop a secret nuclear weapons program before it threatens to destabilize the world. Opposing him is ISI agent Murtaza Mallik, whose patriotism and cunning match Vishnu’s at every step.

Pratik Gandhi, who leads as Vishnu, called the role emotionally intense, portraying a man who must remain invisible, emotionless, and precise in a world that offers no margin for error.
“There’s no room for error in Vishnu’s world. Every move is calculated, every emotion buried. What drew me in was the intensity beneath the stillness and the emotional toll of being invisible, yet fighting for India. I’m thrilled audiences can finally step into that world with this trailer,” Gandhi said.
“This isn’t a black-and-white conflict. My character Murtaza is highly disciplined, dangerous & his only mission is to serve his nation just like Vishnu. Our face-off is less about brute strength and more about who can stay a step ahead. It’s as personal as it is strategic,” said actor Sunny Hinduja, who plays Murtaza Mallik.
Created by Gaurav Shukla and produced by Bombay Fables with Bhavesh Mandalia as creative producer, the show features a stellar ensemble cast including Tillotama Shome, Kritika Kamra, Rajat Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, and Anup Soni. Edited by Arif Sheikh (Pathaan, War), the series promises cinematic flair and heart-pounding suspense.
Tanya Bami, series head at Netflix India, described it as “a tribute to the unsung heroes who shaped our national history behind closed doors.” With a narrative rooted in historical tension and emotional depth, Saare Jahan Se Accha offers a rare look into the lives of intelligence officers who protect nations without recognition.
