Operation Safed Sagar Teaser: Siddharth and Jimmy Shergill Recreate Kargil War Bravery in Netflix Series

Netflix has dropped the first teaser of its upcoming war drama ‘Operation Safed Sagar’, featuring Siddharth and Jimmy Shergill in lead roles. The series, inspired by true events, is based on the Indian Air Force’s landmark 1999 Kargil War mission, known for its strategic brilliance and courage under fire.

Directed by Oni Sen, known for Asur, the series aims to recreate the 47-day air combat operation that helped India reclaim its high-altitude positions along the Line of Control (LoC).

A Tribute to Indian Air Force’s Valor

‘Operation Safed Sagar’ captures the intensity and precision of the Indian Air Force during the Kargil conflict. The teaser opens with breathtaking visuals of aircraft hangars, Soviet-era fighter jets like the MiG-21, and squadrons preparing for takeoff.

It transitions into high-octane aerial sequences showing fighter planes soaring through the snow-clad Himalayan mountains, symbolizing both the danger and determination of India’s defenders. Explosive visuals and stirring background scores set the tone for a story rooted in courage, sacrifice, and patriotism.

Powerful Cast and Direction

Alongside Siddharth, the series features Jimmy Shergill, Abhay Verma, Mihir Ahuja, Taaruk Raina, and Arnav Bhasin in key roles. Created by Abhijeet Singh Parmar and Kushal Srivastava, and directed by Oni Sen, the series highlights the strategic coordination between the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army during the conflict.

The show aims to honor real heroes — the pilots and soldiers who risked their lives to protect India’s sovereignty during the Kargil War of 1999, one of the most defining moments in India-Pakistan military history.

What to Expect from the Series

The teaser offers glimpses of the emotional and physical challenges faced by pilots in hostile weather and terrain. It combines gritty realism with cinematic scale, portraying not just the mission but also the human side of warfare — fear, duty, and brotherhood.

With stunning aerial cinematography, realistic VFX, and authentic military detailing, Operation Safed Sagar promises to be one of Netflix’s most ambitious Indian productions to date.

Streaming in 2026

‘Operation Safed Sagar’ is set to premiere on Netflix in 2026, commemorating over two decades since the Kargil War. For viewers, it offers a gripping look into the bravery of India’s Air Warriors who turned the tide of war from the skies.

The series is not just a retelling of a historical event — it’s a tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Indian Armed Forces.
