Experience the epic tale of India's fight for freedom in 'Freedom at Midnight.' Sony LIV and Emmy Entertainment unite to bring history to life with a stellar cast and a commitment to authenticity
Sony LIV and Emmy Entertainment have teamed up to deliver the highly anticipated series, "Freedom at Midnight." This compelling political drama delves into India's struggle for independence, intricately weaving together lesser-known narratives and pivotal moments from the partition era. Featuring a stellar cast including Sidhant Gupta, Chirag Vohra, and Rajendra Chawla embodying iconic figures such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the series is poised to enthrall audiences worldwide.
Produced by Emmay Entertainment, helmed by Monisha Advani and Madhu Bhojwani, in collaboration with StudioNext and Sony LIV, the series is spearheaded by Nikkhil Advani, serving as both the showrunner and director. The narrative is meticulously crafted by a team of talented writers including Abhinandan Gupta, Adwitiya Kareng Das, Gundeep Kaur, Divya Nidhi Sharma, Revanta Sarabhai, and Ethan Taylor.
Reflecting on the project, Director Nikkhil Advani expressed, "Freedom at Midnight is a culmination of passion and dedication, ignited by a simple conversation with Danish Khan about the timeless book. Our unwavering commitment to authenticity has guided us throughout this journey. This series pays homage to the stalwarts of our freedom movement—Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel—who fearlessly led the nation towards independence. Emmay Entertainment is thrilled to present this narrative that encapsulates the spirit of modern India, and Sony LIV, a pioneer in showcasing content that celebrates India's rich heritage while resonating with global audiences, is the perfect platform for it."
He further emphasized, "Many of us are familiar with the significant milestones and sacrifices that paved the way for India's independence. However, what Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins achieved was access to Dickie Mountbatten’s personal diaries and notes, providing an intimate perspective. Amidst the major events, we have woven in personal accounts that breathe life into the era, infusing moments with authenticity. Danish Sir and Saugata's guiding principle has always been 'authenticity,' and we have adhered to it diligently."
