The international series premiered on 2015. It tells the story of Doron, a commander in the Mista'arvim unit and his team; in the first season, they pursue a Hamas arch-terrorist known as The Panther. The first season was filmed in Kafr Qasim during the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict. The second season premiered on 2017. The third season takes place in the Gaza Strip and was aired in 2019 and 2020.

Sukhmani, who will be playing the role of Nusrat in the web series, said: "I had a Zoom meeting with Sudhir (Mishra) sir when I was in Amritsar. We had many rounds of readings and auditions till finally I was locked. I still remember the audition that I gave during Covid. My father helped me tape it."

"It was a tough one as I had to be a very somber, 'grey' shade woman. But eventually when I got to the show, me and my dad both celebrated." Those Pricey Thakur Girls: Sukhmani Sadana Replaces Gauahar Khan in Disney+ Hotstar Show.

They taught me teamwork, the art and craft of acting. It's been a beautiful journey and now I am keeping my fingers crossed that everyone enjoys the show as much as we enjoyed making it".
