Nikkhil Advani: “Freedom at Midnight Sparks Debate

Nikkhil Advani’s Freedom at Midnight tells the story of India’s partition in 1947, starring Sidhant Gupta as Jawaharlal Nehru. The series has sparked debate, with Vivek Agnihotri accusing Nikkhil of “whitewashing” history. Nikkhil responds, saying Agnihotri has not seen the show and stresses that the series portrays the painful reality of partition.

He emphasizes that the partition was a tragic event that should never have happened. The show is based on the book Freedom at Midnight by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins and will not be expanded into a franchise.
