~ Sankalp is available to stream for free on Amazon MX Player ~
MUMBAI, India, 25 March 2026: Amazon MX Player, India’s leading free, premium, ad-supported video streaming service, launched Sankalp, a gripping socio-political thriller that delves into the layered world of power, mentorship, and ideology. Directed by National Award-Winning Filmmaker Prakash Jha and produced by PJP Productions in partnership with Jio Studios, the series is headlined by Nana Patekar alongside a powerhouse cast featuring Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Kubbra Sait, Neeraj Kabi, Sanjay Kapoor, and Kranti Prakash Jha in pivotal roles. As the show sparks conversation, Nana Patekar reflects on the intangible energy that shaped the experience behind the scenes.
Opening up about his time on set, Nana Patekar shared, “Mein sach kehta hu woh kya hota hai ke shaam ko aap jaake khaana banao, sab unit saatme bethta hai gappe maar rahe hai kha rahe hai toh woh jo ek bond band jaata hai na toh woh set pe badi aasaani ho jaati hai, logon ko lagta hai sirf khaana bana hai, khaana nahi banta sirf, woh family ban jaati hai.”
Further adding to his friendship with Prakash Jha, he said, “Ek dusri ki achi aur buri baatein malum ho jaati hai na toh phir dosti ban jaati hai. Hum uska zikar nahi karte hai ke tujhme yeh kharabhi hai, woh jo hai usi ke saath usne apna liya hai mujhe. Jitni bhi kamiyaan mujhmein hain, uske saath toh badi aasani ho jaati hai.”
With Sankalp, now streaming for free on Amazon MX Player, the series promises a tense, thought-provoking ride, where belief, ambition, and power constantly collide, and nothing stays black and white for long.
