We’re talking about the former Rebel of India, who kind of pioneered the concept of revolution with his legacy. He is one of the earliest freedom fighters of India who is not so known to the current youth of India.

The show is titled as “Vidrohi” and popular TV actor Sharad Malhotra will be seen portraying the title role in this show. He has done another historical based show where he played “Maharana Pratap’s” character.

The show already premiered three promos, however the latest one has a proper execution of the main theme of the story. The promo of the show showcased the practice of the British government of taking tax on the temple of Lord Jagganath and prohibited the entries of the devotees, which is simply a practice of autocracy. Bakshi Jagabandhu, with his forces stood alone against the British rules of this place and he changed the ancestral tradition of India where guests used to be treated as next to God and will now be sacrificed for the betterment of the soil and country. He was the commander of the arms of forces of the King of Khurda. The show will be launched by Gatha Productions. Apart from Ssharad, Sulagna Panigrahi is going to play a very important role in this series and also Hemal Ingle, is going to play the role of another renowned women freedom fighter in that time. The show is going to launch in the month of September, 2021 itself. The cinematic presentation of the show really established the current timing of 1817, during the Paika Rebellion.
