Prime Video just dropped the trailer for The Revolutionaries, and it’s unlike any freedom-struggle story we’ve seen on screen before. Forget textbook heroes — this one dives into the untold, rebellious side of India’s fight for independence, led by a cast better known for comedy and coming-of-age roles than period drama.

What The Revolutionaries Is About
Created and directed by Nikkhil Advani, the series is based on Sanjeev Sanyal’s book Revolutionaries: The Other Story Of How India Won Its Freedom. Set in the aftermath of the 1857 uprising, it follows four young Indians who reject a future under colonial rule and choose armed resistance instead — a rarely explored chapter of the freedom movement.
The Revolutionaries: eet the Cast and Characters
| Actor | Character | Role in Story |
|---|---|---|
| Bhuvan Bam | Rash Behari Bose | Master of disguise infiltrating British camps |
| Rohit Saraf | Sachindra Nath Sanyal | Founding member, Hindustan Republican Association |
| Pratibha Ranta | Pratibha Lahiri | Key revolutionary figure |
| Gurfateh Pirzada | Bagha Jatin | Armed resistance leader |
| Jason Shah | General Dyer | British antagonist hunting the rebels |
Bhuvan Bam, known for his YouTube fame as BB Ki Vines, called this “not a conventional freedom-fighter drama” but a story of brotherhood forged in the chaos of rebellion. Since little archival material exists on Rash Behari Bose, Bam said he had creative freedom to build the character from instinct. Rohit Saraf, meanwhile, underwent intensive physical training to portray Sanyal’s blend of innocence and unshakeable conviction.
