After impressing viewers with State Of Siege: 26/11, Contiloe has introduced its sequel — State Of Siege: Temple Attack. The edge-of-the-seat action original will bring to the fore, a high-powered digital debut performance by Akshaye Khanna. Abhimanyu Singh, CEO, Contiloe Digital, is all set to present a life-like portrayal of the 2002 terrorist attacks on Gujarat’s Akshardham Temple with arresting performances and a thrilling narrative on July 9.

Akshaye Khanna says, “I was waiting for the perfect story to debut in the web space. When Abhimanyu approached me for this original, I couldn’t refuse. It has always been an honour to play any role of a man in uniform, but this time as I understood the physical, mental and emotional strength needed to be an NSG commando, my respect for our soldiers grew even more.” This original will take you through the NSG journey and all the behind-the-scenes action of the dreadful temple attack.

Abhimanyu Singh shares, “The success of State Of Siege: 26/11 encouraged us to highlight more counter insurgency operations by our forces. We have shot State Of Siege: Temple Attack across four states and in difficult terrains to add to the authenticity of the story shared.”

Director Ken Ghosh adds, “For me, this has always been a dream genre. The challenge was to shoot slick action, and to also keep it authentic and delve into the minds of terrorists, victims and our commandos, but all the time keeping the pace of the original, quick and relentless.” The ambitious project will also see ace performances by actors Vivek Dahiya and Gautam Rode.

State Of Siege: Temple Attack will stream on ZEE5 from July 9.
