History TV18 has announced the premiere of its new documentary, "Statue of Unity: Ekta Ka Prateek", which will premiere on Friday March 8 at 8 pm.
The 40-minute documentary will be presented by Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar and will celebrate the spirit of unity which binds India as a country together and pay homage to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who led the integration of 562 fragmented princely states into one country, after India gained independence in 1947.
"Being part of 'Statue of Unity: Ekta Ka Prateek' has been an incredibly humbling experience for me. It's about honouring the great spirit of unity that resonates within every Indian."
"Sardar Patel's vision and leadership continue to inspire us, reminding us of the strength that comes from our unity as a nation. I hope this documentary serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and the power of coming together for a common purpose," Kumar said.
The documentary progresses with a tour of some incredible tourist attractions that are in the vicinity of the Statue of Unity, adorned with the beauty of flora and fauna.
The documentary, with its stunning visuals, sleek graphics and never-heard-before stories, sheds light on the bustling tourist destination that has seen footfalls up to 50,000 in a single day.
"Revolutions are created by people when they come together for a bigger purpose, guided by visionaries who lead and inspire. Sardar Patel was one such visionary who advocated the significance of unity in the process of nation-building. The film reflects on the legacy of the pioneer of united India and showcases inspiring transformation of Gujarat’s humble Kevadia into an international tourist destination," Aanand L Rai, the documentary's director said.
