Veteran filmmaker Sudhir Mishra has been in the filmmaking business since 1983 when Kundan Shah allowed him to write the script of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro. He recently directed the Disney Plus Hotstar series Hostages, an adaptation of an Israeli series, and Netflix’s Serious Men, a book-to-screen adaptation of Manu Joseph’s novel of the same name, both of which were loved by the viewers. Now, he is once again ready to enthral the audience with the SonyLIV web show Tanaav, an adaptation of the popular Israeli series Fauda. It will start streaming on November 11.
Mishra said that since his show is an adaptation it is not about “the mystery of what happens” but more about “how it happens.” He wants those who have watched the original series to watch Tanaav too since he has “reimagined” the series and instead of being the story of two nations, it is based in Kashmir. But he has deliberately tried to not make it about “two religions”.
Mishra hopes that after watching Tanaav, the audience will have a better understanding of the situation in the Valley. He told indianexpress.com, “The hallmark of a good story is you try and understand every character, the conflicts are elaborated on. In the end, you come up with an understanding of the situation. Hopefully, that will happen with Tanaav.”
