When Harman Baweja learnt that a militant-turned-soldier became the first Kashmiri to earn an Ashoka Chakra, the actor-producer knew there was a story to be explored. That’s how the seeds of Ikhwan, a drama based on the late Lance Naik Nazir Ahmad Wani’s life, were sown. “It’s the journey of a boy who got swayed by militancy. When he realised he was on the wrong side, he became a soldier. It’s a story of redemption. Also, the Indian Army was forgiving enough to give a militant an opportunity to prove that he wanted to do the right thing,” says Baweja.
