Plot
Ranneeti: Balakot & Beyond is based on the true incident of 2019. The two-minute trailer tells many things about the show. The series tries to shed light on the lesser-known side of the Balakot operation. The trailer shows challenges, defence strategies and sacrifices to make the operation successful.
In an interview, actor Jimmy Shergill talked about the show and said, "Five years ago, on February 14, our brave hearts at Pulwama gave the supreme sacrifice on the line of duty. While we will never forget the sacrifice of our martyrs, we couldn't stop beaming with pride when for the first we watched our country fight back!"
"The Balakot airstrike, was a stern message that stemmed from the resilience and courage of our nation and armed forces. India took a firm stand and this date will remain etched in the nation's heart forever- India will never forget. Being a part of this series has only heightened my respect for the jawans as I relived a defining moment in our country's history," he added.
