Talking about the series, creator Abhijeet Singh Parmar stated, “What drew us to creating and producing Operation Safed Sagar was the opportunity to explore a world that very few people get to see from the inside, a world that opened up to us through our Co-Creator Kushal Srivastava’s experience in the Indian Air Force. As we explored the lives of Air Force pilots, their families and the people around them, we realised that beyond the conflict and the mission, this was ultimately a story about friendship, sacrifice, leadership and impossible choices.” He further opened up by stating that they recreated the world across more than 100 locations, including filming at over 16,000 feet. By bringing together a large ensemble cast with extensive visual effects, they aimed to balance scale with intimate human drama.

It is a tribute to the courage, camaraderie and sacrifice of The Golden Arrows, a squadron that went beyond the call of duty, in service of the nation. This is a first of its kind war drama series from India that will take the audience into the world of airforce pilots. Their lives, their bravery and the split-second decision-making that goes into keeping our borders safe.” She further mentioned that with a truly cinematic scale, world-class production values, and visual effects, this series is a truly authentic and immersive experience.
