In an exclusive interview with PeepingMoon, Abhay Deol talked about reuniting with Mahie Gill a decade later in 1962: The War In The Hills after Dev D, why the Disney+Hotstar web series is different from the rest of war-based shows, and if the opening of theatres will affect the content releasing on OTT platforms.
Talking about the re-opening of cinemas and if that will have an impact on web viewership, Abhay said, "Even before COVID, web was out there. It did get a boost because of COVID but even with cinemas working again, web won't shut down."
1962: The War In The Hills also features an ensemble cast including Akash Thosar, Sumeet Vyas, Rohan Gandotra, Annup Soni, Meiyang Chang, Mahie Gill, Rochelle Rao, Hemal Ingle and many more. Produced in partnership with Arré Studio, this 10-episode war-drama has been written by Charudutt Acharya and directed by one of Bollywood’s finest filmmakers Mahesh Manjrekar who has beautifully captured not only the war, but also the personal lives of the soldiers and what they left behind in service of the nation.
