Over the last couple of years, there’s been tremendous growth in the OTT space in India. While many actors and filmmakers have been actively involved in digital content for entertainment purposes, actors Manoj Bajpayee, Rana Daggubati and Randeep Hooda, and director Neeraj Pandey have associated with discovery+, an entertainment and learning streaming app, for original educative shows. Mission Frontline features Rana and Ladakh Warriors: The Sons of the Soil has been narrated in Hindi by Randeep. Neeraj and Manoj are part of the show, Secrets of Sinauli: Discovery of the Century, which sees the former as a presenter and Manoj as a host.
Talking about his experience, Manoj says, “Being a part of Secrets of Sinauli: Discovery of the century was enriching in many ways, because I got to learn so much about ancient India. The archeological discoveries made at Sinauli tell us so much about our history and about ancient civilizations that existed more than 4000 years ago. I have been able to see ancient Indian history from a new perspective.”
Rana, who is part of Mission Frontline, says,“It gives me immense pleasure to have an opportunity to live a day in the life of the BSF jawans. Having played a role of a soldier before, I can say that the real life of a solider is very different from reel life. They are our real heroes and what they do for this country is unimaginable. This project will give the people of this country a chance to get a glimpse of the lives of the BSF jawans and motivate the youth to serve the country.”
On narrating Ladakh Warriors: The Sons of the Soil in Hindi, says, “I am a fan of all the border men and their relentless efforts towards keeping our country safe. The idea of this show is to celebrate the snow warriors of India and I couldn’t be happier to be associated with a project like this. To be able to lend my voice to take the story of these heroes to the masses is an honor.”
