Packed with intense scenes of air combats, land operations and intelligence subterfuges, the show presents the emotions and actions behind the heavily cast doors of national forces.
The actor said, "It was also trusting myself. I would say while performing this role, I also improved as a person. I was supported by my director Kanishk Varma, creator Samar Khan, writer Mayank and the whole creative team of Shoorveer'."
