The trailer shows Taaruk Raina trying to uncover the truth behind the British conspiracy surrounding the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It depicts how he overcomes challenges to prove that the massacre was pre-planned.
Sharing the trailer, the OTT platform wrote, “Find out the conspiracy behind the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, as a nation awakens. Creator | Director Ram Madhvani brings to you a show inspired by true events #TheWakingOfANation, streaming from 7th March on SonyLIV.”

Creator, director, and co-producer Ram Madhvani called it one of his most cherished projects. He said, “It’s more than just a show—it’s my way of highlighting India’s rich history and the struggles we’ve faced. Sharing the story set against the backdrop of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the hidden conspiracy surrounding it holds a deeply personal significance for me. I’m proud of the unique storytelling style I’ve brought to this project and am thrilled to collaborate with SonyLIV and my talented cast—Tarruk, Nikita, Sahil, and Bhawsheel. Amita Madhvani, our team at Ram Madhvani Films, and I can’t wait for audiences to experience this powerful tale of courage and resilience.”
Speaking about his role as Kantilal Sahni, Taaruk shared, “Being part of The Waking of a Nation has been one of the most profound experiences of my career. This isn’t just a show; it’s a tribute to the countless, often forgotten, individuals who sacrificed for India’s independence. Playing Kantilal Sahni, a man caught between duty and truth, has been both a challenge and an honour. This story is not just about history; it’s about the courage to seek justice, even when the odds are stacked against you. I hope this series serves as a reminder of the resilience and sacrifices that shaped our nation.”
