Like in the book, Singh says, the series will showcase "the anti-terror insurgency perspective as well as the hostage crisis."

Singh has roped in Joshua Caldwell of the American drama series, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation fame to help with scripting along with Unnithan. "Sandeep is working closely with Joshua who is based in New York. They will transform the book into an episodic structure, and Sandeep will help bring the narrative to life along with the events chronicled."

On roping Caldwell for the project, the producer says, "We have a great story but our concern is to make this into an eight-episode series. Joshua has done that well with CSI. I believe he would be the right person. It's a topic that has excited him as well."

Caldwell says that he took up the project to pay a tribute to the fallen. "Behind the magnitude of 26/11 lie real stories of bravery and loss. I hope to bring recognition to their actions and pay tribute to their sacrifice so that they may continue to live on in the hearts of the audience."

Singh, who is yet to cast actors, adds, "The show will have more characters than there are in the book but are essential to take the story forward."
