“The first season told the story of the birth of India as a nation and a gave a sense of how precarious it was in those early days of Independence and the debate around becoming a nuclear power. “It’s the story of India as well as the two men,” says Roy Kapur.

Again, directed by Pannu, Season 2 covers the decade from 1964-1974 and faced an immediate challenge in that both of the lead characters died relatively young during that period – Bhabha at the age of 56 in a plane crash near Mont Blanc in Switzerland and Sarabhai of cardiac arrest at the age of 52.īut Roy Kapur explains that the second season details the “passing of the baton” from these two prominent figures to other scientists who continued their work, including APJ Abdul Kalam, Dr Raja Ramanna and Dr Sethna. With Season 2 launching today (March 16), Advani and Roy Kapur talked to Deadline about how the story has been taken forward and how India’s recent history has become a hot new topic in local drama.
