Currently on floors, the series is being filmed across Mumbai, Amritsar, Varanasi, Dehradun and elsewhere. Mounted on a lavish scale, the show will stream on Prime Video in 2026. 'India's rich history is filled with stories of courage, valour and sacrifice – many of which have been lost to time,' said Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals, Prime Video, India. 'Sanjeev Sanyal's remarkable book Revolutionaries: The Other Story of How India Won Its Freedom shines a light on a vital part of our freedom struggle, and we're immensely proud to bring this story to life.'
