Naxalbari, a ZEE5’s original web series has begun shooting in Goa with all safety guidelines for Covid-19 issued by the health department in place. It is an action-packed series that keeps switching between the dense jungles of Maharashtra and metropolitan cities which increasingly become hotbeds for Naxal ideology.
The platform recently revealed the official logo for the web series.
The CEO of ZEE5, Tarun Katial, on Twitter made a special post, announcing the commencement of shooting for Naxalbari. In the post, Rajeev Khandelwal, Sreejita De and Shakti Anand’s first look has been revealed.
Khandelwal’s fans will be pleased to see him back in action as a protagonist after a long time. Sreejita De’s character comes across as a fierce Naxalite.
Rajeev Khandelwal said:
“The cast and crew has undergone a major rejig because of the whole Covid thing. But eventually we have all very capable people on board. I am looking forward to working with Aamir, Satyadeep, Tina and others as my co-actors. I have never had the opportunity of working with any of them, so it makes it even more exciting.
“We have had table readings for the show, and I have used this time away from set, to work on my character. I am hoping it is a treat for my fans because they have never seen me in a role like this. My character of the STF agent should surprise the audience because it has many shades to it, starting from humour and action to essaying a lot of emotions throughout the series”.
The web series is set to release later this year as a ZEE5 exclusive.
