Actor Naveen Kasturia, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming streaming series ‘Salakaar’, has shared that as a child, he was obsessed with the Param Vir Chakra stories. ‘Salakaar’ is a high-stakes espionage thriller, and is helmed by Faruk Kabir. The show unfolds across two timelines, 1978 and 2025, and follows the gripping journey of a deep-cover spy navigating the complexities of identity, sacrifice and survival.

Speaking about the project, Naveen said that the genre has always fascinated him. He said, “I always wanted to do a spy thriller. As a child, I was obsessed with the Param Vir Chakra stories on Doordarshan. The tales of men who gave up everything for their nation stayed with me. Salakaar brings that quiet dream to life”.

In the trailer, viewers witness a powerful transformation- Naveen performing intense action, wielding firearms, and embracing the layered persona of a covert agent. But beyond the physicality, the actor reveals that the psychological toll of the role was just as demanding.
