Pukaar is our tribute to the Indian army and we are extremely proud of our association with Vipul A Shah who masters this genre. The viewers will get to see a different style of action rarely explored on small screen. We also touch upon the dynamics of father- son relationship unlike the usual. With the plot, characters and locations, the viewers can look forward to a different kind of content twice a week promising to be thrilling and entertaining”
Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah said, “After my last three films, Force, Commando and Holiday which were based on ‘Men in Uniform’, I bring my love for army to the small screen with ‘Pukaar – Call for the Hero’. Army men are the biggest heroes in real life and the hero of my show, Rannvijay Singh comes from an army background and is a perfect fit to the character. With this show I intend to raise the bar of action to a different level altogether for the small screen. The viewers can surely expect a 70mm big screen feel while watching the show as I aim to bring the biggest action show ever on television. We have used the best of the technicians, cameras, gadgets and locations for the show. Pukaar has many firsts – It marks the debut of Rannvijay Singh and Adah Sharma in fiction space. Deven Bhojani enters the action genre as the co director and it is the return of legendary actor Raj Babbar on television.”
With so much on plate, the show will be a delight for the television viewers. Shot in various locales of Manali and Mumbai, the story is told in a real world setting and promises world class quality entertainment, where the viewers will be connected to every hour of Major Rajveer’s battle against time.
