Saare Jahan Se Accha tells the story of Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) agent Vishnu Shankar, who undertakes a perilous mission deep inside enemy territory: Pakistan. While inspired by real events, the series is a fictional drama and not a direct biopic of any specific individual or event.
Set in the volatile 1970s, when a single move could tip the balance of power and trigger a global nuclear war, \_Saare Jahan Se Accha\_ unfolds as India’s R&AW and Pakistan’s ISI clash in a deadly game of strategy.
Talking about 8-hour work shift Pratik Gandhi mentioned that after sometime fatigue sets in. “Our job is constantly demanding us to create emotions. When I am creating an emotion, my body doesn’t understand that I am acting. I constantly do this for 6 to 7 hours. But after 8-hours it is extremely impossible to generate any magic. We try with all our possibilities, but it is tough. This is from the actors’ point of view. With all logic, it is almost impossible to work for 12-hours. That applies for all industries.”
