The show, released in two parts last year, has been lauded for its gripping storyline, stellar performances, and high production values.

The nomination marks a significant achievement for Indian content production on a global stage.

“This nomination solidifies the show as a global phenomenon,” stated Sumanta Bose, Content (Hindi) and Business Head at Disney+ Hotstar.

Anil Kapoor, expressing his joy and gratitude, said, “This show has been a labor of love for all of us. We’ve all poured our hearts into this project. To see it connect with the global audience, and now to receive this prestigious recognition is deeply humbling.”

The show will compete against three other nominees in the category: “Les Gouttes de Dieu” (France), “The Newsreader – Season 2” (Australia), and “Iosi, El Espia Arrepentido – Season 2” (Argentina).
