"The kind of historical anecdotes, stories, and inspiring personalities I came across--especially the ones I was not really aware of--that inspired me a lot. I thought, if I could feel this way there is a huge possibility for the audience, especially the younger generation, to feel the pride."

The actor said the series aims to unearth forgotten historical incidents and present them to the viewers with utmost "authenticity".
