Sony LIV has officially unveiled the trailer for its much-anticipated historical drama series, The Waking of a Nation. This series, inspired by real events, is expected to deliver a significant viewing experience. Created and directed by Ram Madhvani, the show is set to debut exclusively on Sony LIV (OTTplay Premium) on March 7, 2025.

Exploring the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

The series delves into the underlying tensions and factors that led to the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, a tragic event in India's historical narrative during its struggle for independence. In The Waking of a Nation, the character Kantilal Sahni, portrayed by Taaruk Raina, reveals a conspiracy rooted in colonialism and white supremacy. The narrative reframes historical events by examining the findings of the Hunter Commission's inquiry.

Ram Madhvani’s passion for the project

Madhvani, the creator, director, and co-producer of The Waking of a Nation, expressed great enthusiasm for the project, considering it one of his personal favorites. The exhibition serves a greater purpose; it is his way of highlighting both the remarkable history and contemporary challenges faced by India. The filmmaker feels a deep emotional connection to this narrative, particularly due to the complex conspiracy surrounding the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy.

He is thrilled to collaborate with Sony LIV and his talented cast members Taaruk, Nikita, Sahil, and Bhawsheel, and he takes pride in the unique storytelling method he has implemented in this endeavor. Madhvani, together with Amita Madhvani and the entire team at Ram Madhvani Films, is eager for audiences to experience this uplifting tale of resilience and courage.

This performance pays tribute to the countless, frequently overlooked heroes who sacrificed their lives for India's independence. For the actor, embodying this character—a man caught between obligation and honesty—has been both a privilege and a formidable challenge. The narrative transcends mere historical recounting; it also emphasizes the bravery required to advocate for justice amidst daunting obstacles. This series serves as a reminder of the resilience and altruism that contributed to the formation of the nation.
