"There have been several shows and films centred on the incident but no one has explored the doctors' side of it. With this medical drama, we aim to champion the human spirit in the face of unprecedented danger and celebrate the brave doctors who had saved the day while keeping the sensitivity of the topic in mind," he added.

The medical drama based on the 2008 terror attacks will premiere in March 2021. (ANI)
