As a routine flight ascended into the winter sky, a chilling announcement signaled the beginning of a hijack that would change Indian aviation history forever. Inside, passengers faced mounting terror as the aircraft made emergency landings in four countries overnight. Meanwhile, negotiators outside raced against the clock to ensure the safety of 189 onboard.\u00a0Launching on August 29, the newly released\u00a0trailer<\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0Netflix\u2019s\u00a0IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack<\/a>\u00a0unveils the high-stakes drama and begs the question:\u00a0Do we truly know all that transpired in those seven days?<\/p>\n

Produced by Matchbox Shots in association with Benaras Mediaworks, Anubhav Sinha\u2019s directorial streaming debut is inspired by real events. Adapted from the book \u201cFlight Into Fear\u201d by Captain Devi Sharan and Srinjoy Chowdhury, the series also captures the heart of negotiations, unveiling the intricate diplomacy within Delhi’s War Room and the tense exchanges at Kandahar’s Negotiation Station.<\/p>\n

Monika Shergill, Vice President – Content, Netflix India\u00a0said, \u201cIC 814: The Kandahar Hijack is a gripping tale that chronicles one of the longest hijackings in Indian history, offering a real account of a colossal international crisis. Directed by the master filmmaker\u00a0 Anubhav Sinha, known for his gritty and realistic cinema, the series doesn\u2019t just recount the events; it immerses you in the emotional whirlwind of a nation gripped by fear, hope, and desperation. The powerful storytelling, combined with stunning visual effects and heart-stopping performances by a stellar cast, makes this a must-watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty-seven years since I made a series \u2018SEA HAWKS\u2019, Netflix and Matchbox Shots made me an offer I couldn\u2019t refuse, to tell the story of IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack,\u201d\u00a0director-creator Anubhav Sinha\u00a0shares. \u201cTrishant, the writer, and I dived in thinking most of the information is available online. Documentaries and vlogs have been made, articles have been written, so we wanted to sink our teeth deeper for a more succulent bite.<\/p>\n

We met officials engaged in running the rescue mission from Delhi, and passengers and the crew told us the story inside the aircraft. Adrian Levy, an eminent journalist, author and filmmaker from London came on board and an all-new international canvas unfolded before us. What went on across those seven days turned out to be a compelling story that cuts through chilling and thrilling tactical and diplomatic manoeuvres that had to be told. The viewers must know this story that has never been told inside out before with a cast I don\u2019t know if I can put together again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Producer\u00a0Sanjay Routray\u00a0of\u00a0Matchbox Shots\u00a0said, \u201cBuilding on our continued success with Netflix, with Monica, O My Darling, and Scoop, we are thrilled to announce a series we have tirelessly been working on for the past 5 years: IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack. With Anubhav Sinha\u2019s masterful direction and Netflix\u2019s global reach, we are confident that the series will move viewers across the world to appreciate the bravery and resilience of the Indians who showed immense courage during the Kandahar hijack.\u201d<\/p>\n

The series features a stellar lineup of actors, including the venerable\u00a0Naseeruddin Shah\u00a0and\u00a0Pankaj Kapur, joined by a remarkable ensemble comprising\u00a0Vijay Varma,\u00a0Arvind Swami,\u00a0Dia Mirza,\u00a0Patralekhaa,\u00a0Amrita Puri,\u00a0Kumud Mishra,\u00a0Manoj Pahwa,\u00a0Anupam Tripathi,\u00a0Kanwaljeet Singh,\u00a0Dibyendu Bhattacharya,\u00a0Sushant Singh,\u00a0Aditya Srivastava,\u00a0Rajeev Thakur\u00a0and\u00a0Yashpal Sharma.<\/p>\n
