Directed and produced by Prakash Jha, Sankalp is a political drama series that is set to arrive on streaming soon. The series will bring a story about power, ideas, and influence in modern India.

His beliefs are tested in a tense clash with his own student. Here’s everything from OTT release date, platform, plot, cast and more that you need to know about the series.

The story of Sankalp is inspired by the ancient strategies of the great Indian politician and strategist Chanakya and his patron, the great Indian emperor Chandragupta Maurya, but is located in the present-day Indian context.
The main story of the series is a strong clash of ideas and power between Ma’at Saab and his brightest student, played by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub. At first, the student is loyal and follows his teacher. But as he grows stronger and more confident, he starts becoming powerful on his own. This slowly breaks their relationship and turns it into a deep battle of beliefs and ambitions.
