Over the last few months, we have seen many films and shows like Khaar, Lal Bahadur Shastri's Death - An Unfinished Story, Sigai (Tamil), Khoj, Mehram and so on, making a mark on Zee5. The OTT platform has managed to become a forerunner in presenting interesting and engaging content.
Keeping the pace strong, Zee5 announced the launch of its fourth original film Veergati which is nspired by real events. Produced by Roshan Kanal’s Daytee Pictures, the film is a poignant tale of a martyr’s tragic fate forcing viewers to question the core fundamentals of patriotism and one’s duty towards the country. Featuring Nikhil Chavan, Yatin Karyekar, Gaurav Ghatnekar, Aditi Bhaskar, Rinku Karmarkar and Radhika Harshe, and directed by Raju Desai & Vishal Desai, the film is slated to release on January 26, 2019
Talking about the originals on Zee5, Manish Aggarwal, Business Head, said, “Our experience over the past year has taught us that movies that challenge our notions and our knowledge are a huge hit among the OTT audience set. They love to be challenged on the perceptions they have been formed. Veergati is one such which forces us to rethink our beliefs and out own sense of right and wrong. This varied array of content has helped build on our subscriber base across geographies and demographics.”
Adding more to the thought, Aparna Acharekar, Programming Head, ZEE5 India, said “It is an honour for us to showcase the stories of forgotten heroes who have laid down their lives for our country. ZEE5 takes this opportunity to remember many such heroes and showcase it to our youth in the most engaging manner, this Republic Day.”
Sharing their thought on the film, Raju Desai & Vishal Desai, Director duo, Veergati said, “Veergati is a small attempt on our part to highlight the challenges that our jawans face for our safety. Releasing this Republic Day for the audiences across the globe, it is an emotional journey in the lives of our youth who, are misled and brainwashed by militants into committing acts of violence in the garb of jihad. He feels that our youth should be made to realise that these soldiers are not our enemies but are fighting FOR us. The bravery of our jawans combined with the energies of our youth will make our country an unbreakable force. ZEE5 is a great medium to convey this story which is a perfect dose of infotainment with the essence of patriotism.”
The film is said to make one emotional and feel more grateful towards the soldiers who sacrifice their lives for you and the nation.
