Indian television’s handsome actor Mohit Raina, who rose to fame as Shiva with Devo Ke Dev Mahadev will soon be seen essaying the character of Havildar Ishar Singh in 21 Sarfarosh: Saragarhi 1897, says that the television series recites an extraordinary story of an ordinary person.

Produced by Abhimanyu Singh's Contiloe Pictures Pvt Ltd., 21 Sarfarosh: Saragarhi 1897 is a fiction show inspired by the real-life story of 21 brave soldiers of the 36th Sikh regiment of the British Indian Army who defended an army outpost at Saragarhi in the North-West Frontier Province against an onslaught by over 10,000 Pashtun and Orakzai tribals in September 1897.

While talking to media about the show and the role Mohit said,"It is very exciting to be in a period drama like '21 Sarfarosh: Saragarhi 1897'. Period dramas have their own challenges. One must work hard to ensure that you don't just embrace the character you are playing, you also have to understand the smaller nuances of the period to deliver an authentic experience."

Elaborating further the actor mentioned, “For Ishar Singh the only thing mattered was his duty, service. The utmost priority was to serve the nation at any cost and be true to his people. A story of a common man turning into a savor during difficult times, an extraordinary story of an ordinary person drove me towards it.”

The show is all set to launch next year in early 2018 will be aired on Discovery Jeet.
