Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi was one of the masterminds behind the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. To play a character like that is not easy, but actor Mukul Dev has done a commendable job and the audience reactions are proof of it.
The story on State of Siege: 26/11 revolves around the horrifying terror attacks that took place in Mumbai in November 2008. Not much was spoken or written about Lakhvi until Sandeep Unnithan did in-depth research on the whole incident and wrote a book ‘Black Tornado: The Three Sieges of Mumbai 26/11’, to which the show has been adapted.
Starring Arjan Bajwa, Arjun Bijlani, Vivek Dahiya, Mukul Dev, Sid Makkar, Tara Alisha Berry, Khalida Jaan, Jyoti Gauba, Shoaib Kabeer, Roshni Sahota, Suzanne Bernert, Naren Kumar and Jason Shah, the show is directed by Matthew Leutwyler, produced by Abhimanyu Singh of Contiloe Pictures and is currently streaming on ZEE5.
