MUMBAI : Actor Amit Sadh says working in an upcoming web series about the Uri surgical strike has been a special experience, and he hopes he has done justice to the role.
Titled "Avrodh: The Siege Within", the series casts Amit in the role of Major Tango, an on-screen version of the real-life hero who spearheaded the mission.
"It's a delight for an artiste to portray a character so iconic and deeply rooted in history. At the same time, it's about filling in huge shoes, so there is a lot of accountability in being Major Videep and in leading the most talked-about mission by Indian armed forces," Amit said.
"I am glad to have got this opportunity and I hope I have been able to do justice to the role. ‘Avrodh' has been a very special experience for all us and we can't wait to gauge the audience reaction," he added.
"Avrodh: The Siege Within" is inspired from the September 2016 Uri attacks and is based on a chapter from Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh's book "India's Most Fearless".
