Filmmaker Ram Madhvani, best known for directing Neerja and Aarya, is now all set to helm a new project titled The Waking of a Nation. As per Variety, 'The Waking of a Nation' series is set against the backdrop of an infamous event in Indian colonial history, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, which took place on April 13, 1919. Dive: Ram Madhvani Teams Up With Sony Pictures Films India for an Underwater Thriller.

Talking about the same, Madhvani said, "It's a six-part or seven-part series, which is going to talk about the commission, so it's a bit like a court case, but it also talks about what happened, what led to it and what happened after it, which I think is as important as what happened on the day. Because, why did Jallianwala Bagh happen? And I think a lot of us don't know why it happened - we know what happened, but what led to it?" The Waking of a Nation: Ram Madhvani Prepping to Make Series on the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre.
