After tasting success with State of Siege: 26/11, Zee 5 have now announced State of Siege: Temple Attack. The makers have roped in Akshaye Khanna to lead the cast as a special task force officer. Talking about working on the film, Akshaye shares, “To be able to wear "the uniform" WITHOUT taking the oath of the ultimate sacrifice, is a privilege that only an actor is afforded. My only focus during the making has been not to disrespect that privilege.”
"Very rarely have we highlighted the role of the Indian commandos in neutralising attacks by our enemies. The State of Siege series was designed to give their perspective and contribution. The success of State of Siege: 26/11 encouraged us to tell these stories further and the obvious extension for us was to chronicle the events of the temple attack that shook the nation. Akshaye`s demeanour and craft make him the perfect fit to lead this narrative and we`re more than excited to be partnering with ZEE5 again on this one," says Abhimanyu Singh, CEO, Contiloe Pictures.
