Director-producer Neeraj Pandey, who serves as the showrunner on the recently released show ‘Secrets of the Buddha Relics’, hosted by Manoj Bajpayee, is of the opinion that the prerequisite for being a writer or a director is to edit your final product with a great degree of alienation.

Elaborating on the same, Neeraj said: “The first thing you have to do as a writer-director is to edit your work dispassionately. If you’re not doing that then you’re in trouble. As storytellers we are making a series or a film for a larger audience, you have to gauge what would appeal to the audience and not fall in love with your work.

Part one of The Freelancer must be one of the most riveting thrillers to have come out of Disney+ Hotstar. This Neeraj Pandey venture is all about action and the politics of the religion that has engulfed a certain part of the Middle Eastern region. There is a lot uncovered by the makers of the show in the first part about radical and moderate Islamists and how these ideologically different groups of the same faith operate. Besides all the above, it was about saving a young woman named Aliya who was forced by her husband’s family to live in Isis-occupied Syria.
The first part of The Freelancer ended with Aliya’s brother and sister-in-law blowing themselves up inside a crowded medina. Aliya was soon able to fathom the brutality with which Isis operated. Aliya is yet to be rescued by Avinash, along with the assistance of the CIA, but...

Neeraj Pandey’s extraction thriller The Freelancer has been released, and it brings an end to an exciting drama about saving a young woman from an Isis-controlled area amidst the peak of their power in the region. The young woman is Aliya Khan, who was married into a rich family from Malaysia. Part two of the show was released, and there was a definite end to the whole drama around getting her out of the region without drawing much attention.
Aliya Khan was the only daughter of Inayat and Sabeena Khan and was raised to be a righteous person. Her father, Inayat Khan, was one of the toughest cops with the Mumbai Police but was removed from his post along with Avinash Kamath for gross misconduct while on duty. Avinash Kamath went on to become a mercenary and never looked back. Aliya’s father stayed back. As described by Sabeena...

The Freelancer, the Disney+ Hotstar original, is a Neeraj Pandey creation that brings a lot of topics regarding international politics and radical Islam to the forefront. One of the leading characters of the show is Avinash Kamath, who has led a roller coaster of a life that has taken him to many parts of the world.
Spoilers Ahead
Avinash Kamath is introduced as a private mercenary who takes up contractual work from various governments or their intelligence agencies and carries out hit jobs without making a lot of noise. Avinash operates from Tangiers, Morocco with the help of his “M”-like boss, Professor Khan, who connects him to contacts from across the globe. The man seems to be earning well and, for a long time, has remained under the radar. His team would include people from across the world and some from India, who, just like him, are military-trained men.

Actor Mohit Raina had support from the Moroccan army while shooting for the series ‘The Freelancer: The Conclusion’. The action in the show looks real because they actually used real arms and ammunition of the Moroccan army in the series
Talking about the same, Mohit said: “We had support from the Moroccan army as well, they used to supply arms and ammunition to us for the shoot, but only after submitting our passports. Working with an international crew is pretty much like an amalgamation of cultures.”
He added: “There was a little bit of a drawback in terms of communication because they mainly speak French. The cast too brought together people from different nations too.”
The series is based on the book ‘A Ticket to Syria’ by Shirish Thorat, directed by Bhav Dhulia, produced by Friday Storytellers, created by showrunner Neeraj Pandey, directed by Bhav Dhulia and produced by Shital Bhatia.
