'Saare Jahan Se Accha' Trailer: Pratik Gandhi's series celebrates India’s unsung intelligence heroes

While nations gear up to celebrate 79th Independence Day, Netflix dropped the trailer of their much-anticipated espionage thriller, Saare Jahan Se Accha. The series celebrates the unsung heroes who vanish into the shadows and remain nameless, faceless, with no medals to show and no grand celebrations. The talks about the intelligence officers and spies who fight battles we’ll never see or hear of.

The upcoming series Saare Jahan Se Accha tells the story of Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) agent Vishnu Shankar, who undertakes a perilous mission deep inside enemy territory: Pakistan. The question is, will he emerge victorious?

Set against the unstable 1970s, the series tells the story of a deadly battle between India’s R&AW and Pakistan’s ISI. As tensions reach a boiling point, Vishnu races against time to foil ISI agent Murtaza Mallik’s plan and stop a global disaster.

Talking about his role, Pratik Gandhi said, “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.”

“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 Vishu. 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,” added Sunny Hinduja, who plays Vishnu’s calculating adversary.

Created by Gaurav Shukla and produced by Bombay Fables, with Bhavesh Mandalia as creative producer, Saare Jahan Se Accha premieres ahead of Independence Day on August 13, a tribute to all those who serve the nation tirelessly, without recognition, rest, or regret.

The series boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast featuring Pratik Gandhi, Sunny Hinduja, Suhail Nayyar, Kritika Kamra, Tillotama Shome, Rajat Kapoor, and Anup Soni. At its core, Saare Jahan Se Accha is not just about espionage; it’s about sacrifice, loyalty, and the high cost of duty when no one is watching.
