He left the providers after six years, however the story of younger IAF officers executing the world’s highest aerial operation didn’t depart him. At present, it has resulted in Netflix’s Operation Safed Sagar. “I met all of the conflict heroes who had been concerned in it. I did a variety of analysis and wrote a narrative,” he instructed mid-day.

As Srivastava and his co-creator Abhijeet Singh Parmar formed Operation Safed Sagar, they knew one factor for sure: the Siddharth and Jimmy Shergill-starrer would keep away from the jingoistic depiction of conflict that’s turn into a norm in Bollywood. “We begin glorifying the heroes. However the soul of the IAF is that the lads are extra vital than the machine. In business flights, if there’s a snag, they may [ask the pilot to] attempt until the final second. However within the Air Power, we’re instructed that the second the pilot feels one thing is mistaken, they will eject,” mentioned Srivastava.
