‘Sankalp’ Trailer Review: Prakash Jha’s Socio-Political Thriller Headlined by Nana Patekar Promises To Be A Compelling Affair
After “Apaharan” and “Raajneeti,” veteran actor Nana Patekar has reunited with filmmaker Prakash Jha for a socio-political thriller, which promises to be a compelling affair as far as the trailer goes.
Inspired by the ancient Chanakya–Chandragupta chronicles, the series reimagines political strategy for modern India and by looking at the setup, themes, and the intricacies of the characters, ‘Sankalp’ brings the memories of Jha’s previous powerful projects like “Gangaajal,” “Chakravyuh” and “Satyagraha.”

What makes the series more interesting is its powerful ensemble, which boasts of Sanjay Kapoor, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Neeraj Kabi, Kubrra Sait and Kranti Prakash Jha.
Talking about the show and his character, Patekar says, “Playing Ma’at saab has been a huge learning and it led me to explore a new dimension. It’s a character layered with silence, conflict and consequences. Working again with Prakash Jha is always special because he tells stories that don’t spell everything out. They mirror the world as it is, and they stay with you. Lastly, this project becomes extra special as I mark my debut in the OTT world with Amazon MX Player and can’t wait for audiences to experience the world of Sankalp.”
Sharing that “Sankalp” is built on belief, Prakash Jha shares, “I have always believed that storytelling carries responsibility. Sankalp is built on that belief, examining power, intent, and consequence in a way that stays with the audience. Collaborating with Amazon MX Player and Jio Studios has allowed this vision to reach audiences far and wide, amplifying the impact of a story that matters. A story truly succeeds when it leaves behind questions that challenge our understanding of the world.”
The electrifying series is set to premiere on March 11 on Amazon MX Player.
