New Delhi: "Dushman ghar mein ghus chuka hai par kya humare desh ke Shoorveer tayaar hai?" In a riveting tale of #BeTheVeer, Disney+ Hotstar brings an action-packed military drama series, 'Shoorveer.'

The Hotstar Specials showcases the journey of the creation of an elite task force in India as they undergo specialized training to become the nation's first responder team against national threats. Anjali Barot plays the role of a helicopter pilot in this action-laced series and shared why she said yes to 'Shoorveer.'

She said, "As an actor, I love experimenting. After the overwhelming response to my earlier web series, I was really looking forward to doing something different and surprising my audience with my next project. When Shoorveer came my way, I knew this was it. I mean, how often do you get the opportunity to play an Air Force Officer and save the country? Just the idea of wearing that uniform and flying that chopper on screen was in itself extremely fascinating."

She further added, "From portraying a doting wife earlier to playing this badass character in Shoorveer was just the on screen transition I was genuinely looking for. I remember, before saying yes to Shoorveer, I met Kanishk, the director who explained his vision for the show and I was sold. I had complete faith in him and Samar Khan and was extremely excited to be associating with a show and character that’s different from anything I’ve ever done before."

'Shoorveer' stars renowned actors Makarand Deshpande and Manish Chaudhari, along with Regina Cassandra, Armaan Ralhan, Aadil Khan, Abhishek Saha, Anjali Barot, Kuldeep Sareen, Arif Zakaria, Faisal Rashid, Sahil Mehta, and Shivya Pathani, in pivotal roles.
