Actor Akshaye Khanna is all set to make his digital debut with a film titled State of Siege: Temple Attack slated to release on ZEE5 this year. The film will be based on the attack at Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar, Gujarat in 2002.
In the incident, around 30 people lost their lives and around 80 people got injured. The National Security Guard (NSG) arrived at the destination and took charge of the situation. The NSG team successfully killed the terrorists and ended the siege.
In the film, the actor will be seen essaying the role of special task force officer, who will be in charge of the mission. “To be able to wear “the uniform” without taking the oath of the ultimate sacrifice. This is a privilege that only an actor is afforded. My only focus during the film has been not to disrespect that privilege”, stated Akshaye when asked about the film.
Taking to twitter, ZEE5 Premium tweeted, “Major Haunt Singh has the target locked in sight. Akshaye Khanna will carry forward the Stage of Siege franchise in this action-packed sequel. Stage of Siege: Temple Attack coming soon, only on ZEE5! #SahasKiVijay.”
The film is directed by Ken Ghosh and is a sequel of ‘State of Siege : 26/11’ based on 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai.
