ZEE5 announces premiere date for Akshaye Khanna starrer State of Siege: Temple Attack

ZEE5, one of the leading streaming media platforms in the world, on Saturday announced the premiere date for one of its hugely anticipated films, State of Siege: Temple Attack, which follows their well-received streaming show State of Siege: 26/11.

Directed by Ken Ghosh, the film stars Akshaye Khanna in the lead role. The actor marks his digital debut with the high-profile film which will start streaming on July 9, 2021.


Apart from announcing the release date, the makers also unveiled the teaser of the film, which takes audiences through the journey of National Security Guard (NSG) commandoes as they foil a terror siege at a temple. The film is inspired by the 2002 Akshardham attack in Gujarat, India.

If the teaser is anything to go by, State of Siege: Temple Attack is going to offer loads of thrill, action, drama and suspense. The teaser starts with a voice-over of a terrorist who is willing to kill everyone for their mission. It shows how people were trapped by the terrorist and kept hostage while the NSG commandos took charge of the situation and saved lives.

Director Ken Ghosh said, “State of Siege: Temple Attack is not just a film, it is a tribute to the NSG commandos of India who are always ready to risk their lives to protect us. As a son of a naval officer, I have grown up in awe of our armed forces. In State of Siege: Temple Attack, we have tried our best to give a fitting tribute to our heroes and I cannot wait for the release of the film on ZEE5.”

State of Siege: Temple Attack is slated to premiere on 9th July on ZEE5. Keep visiting this space over and again for more updates and reveals from the world of entertainment.

'Daayra' review: This Kareena Kapoor-Prithviraj Sukumaran drama makes you question where justice ends

Highlights

  • Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran play two police officers with very different ideas of justice
  • Meghna Gulzar turns a controversial encounter into a wider examination of law, conscience and accountability
  • Kshitee Jog delivers one of the film's most affecting performances as a grieving mother

Meghna Gulzar's Daayra does not make it easy to decide where justice begins and where it crosses a line. Starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, the investigative drama centres on a police encounter that is initially celebrated as swift justice, before asking what happens when those enforcing the law decide that following it is no longer enough.

The film's central conflict comes through DCP Ajooni Kohli (Kareena), an Internal Vigilance officer investigating the encounter, and DCP Raman Kumar (Prithviraj), the officer behind it. They are both convinced they are pursuing justice, but their understanding of what that means could not be more different.
