The spirit of patriotism took centre stage on Thursday as the makers of Operation Safed Sagar unveiled its teaser trailer. The short clip offers a glimpse into one of India’s most daring military missions, described as “the world’s highest air operation in history.” Packed with intensity and emotion, the teaser features Siddharth, Jimmy Shergill, Abhay Verma, Mihir Ahuja, and others, setting the tone for a gripping war drama based on true events.
First look of Operation Safed Sagar out
Produced by Netflix India, Operation Safed Sagar is inspired by the 1999 Kargil War, a historic conflict that tested the courage and coordination of the Indian Armed Forces. Directed by Oni Sen, best known for Asur, the series highlights the role of the Indian Air Force (IAF) in one of the most challenging terrains on earth. The streaming platform announced that the first look today, with the full series premiering soon.
The title, Operation Safed Sagar, takes its name from the actual air operation carried out by the IAF during the Kargil War. The real mission began on May 26, 1999, after the Indian government authorised limited use of air power to flush out Pakistani intruders who had crossed the Line of Control (LOC). It was a 47-day campaign that demanded precise coordination between the Army and Air Force, showcasing immense bravery and resilience from India’s soldiers.
According to the makers, the show aims to authentically portray how these forces worked together under extreme conditions, combining strategy, sacrifice, and solidarity. The narrative is expected to highlight both the operational challenges and the emotional strength of those who served during the conflict.
The cast adds to the excitement, with Rang De Basanti actor Siddharth leading the mission, supported by veterans like Jimmy Shergill and rising stars such as Abhay Verma, who recently appeared in Munjya. For Abhay, it marks another milestone year, as he is also part of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film King.
In the teaser, viewers get a glimpse of high-altitude aerial combat sequences and tense moments inside aircraft cockpits, hinting at a visually powerful depiction of the war. Director Oni Sen’s previous work on Asur showcased his way of mixing human drama with technical precision, an approach likely to be seen in Operation Safed Sagar as well.
Interestingly, the teaser dropped on Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday, coinciding with Netflix’s announcement of adding several of his Yash Raj Films classics, including Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Veer-Zaara, and Chak De! India, to its platform.
With Operation Safed Sagar, Netflix continues expanding its lineup of Indian originals rooted in real events. Stay tuned for more details.
