The trailer opens with a militant talking into the camera about martyrdom and Kashmir’s freedom. His handler (Shashank Arora) gives him the hard facts about what happens to a body when a bomb explodes and asks if he is ready. We then see Manav Vij and Arbaaz Khan’s characters discussing that someone named Umar is alive and he is planning something big.

There is a blast and we are presented visuals of bodies being brought out and people mourning while an angry-looking Rajat Kapoor interrogates two scared-looking women, one of whom says she isn’t scared. Manav Vij’s character says he needs to return to active duty for ‘one final mission’ to stop whatever is being planned as he travels to Kashmir.

According to the show’s official synopsis, “Set against the idyllic backdrop of Kashmir in the year 2017, Tanaav is a fictional thriller revolving around a Special Unit, their bravery, and courage. Delving into the human drama behind the ideologies, dealing with complex emotions and flawed characters, all of whom share the same feelings of love, loss, betrayal and revenge, the show is a socio-political action drama with family at its core.”
