Amazon MX Player has launched the trailer of its upcoming socio-political thriller Sankalp, marking the much-awaited streaming debut of veteran actor Nana Patekar. Sankalp is set to premiere on March 11, exclusively on Amazon MX Player.
Speaking about his OTT debut, veteran actor Nana Patekar says, “Playing Ma’at saab has been a huge learning and it led me to explore a new dimension. It’s a character layered with silence, conflict and consequences.”
He adds, “Working again with Prakash Jha is always special because he tells stories that don’t spell everything out. They mirror the world as it is, and they stay with you. Lastly, this project becomes extra special as I mark my debut in the OTT world with Amazon MX Player and can’t wait for audiences to experience the world of Sankalp.”

Inspired by the ancient Chanakya–Chandragupta chronicles, the series reimagines political strategy for modern India.

The series is produced by Jyoti Deshpande for Jio Studios and Dishaa Jhaa under banner of PJP films Productions.
“I have always believed that storytelling carries responsibility. Sankalp is built on that belief, examining power, intent, and consequence in a way that stays with the audience. Collaborating with Amazon MX Player and Jio Studios has allowed this vision to reach audiences far and wide, amplifying the impact of a story that matters. A story truly succeeds when it leaves behind questions that challenge our understanding of the world,” says Director and Producer Prakash Jha.
What to expect from Sankalp
Set between political nerve centres, the story introduces Ma’at Saab, an influential educator whose authority rests on values, loyalty, and unwavering devotion. The trailer builds steadily with a charged confrontation between the mentor and mentee, exposing the moral price of ambition and the thin line between guidance and establishing dominance. The tussle that ensues is what keeps everyone hooked to see if the student gets to rise against the master.
“Sankalp is a sharp, contemporary socio-political thriller with larger-than-life characters that explores power, belief, and motivations. The series reflects our focus on culturally rooted stories that spark meaningful conversations. It also continues our long-standing creative collaboration with Prakash Jha, whose distinctive voice has delivered many impactful narratives. We are also delighted to collaborate with Nana Patekar as he makes his streaming debut with Amazon MX Player.,” says Amogh Dusad, Director and Head of Content, Amazon MX Player.
Spokesperson, PJP Films Productions says, “With Sankalp, the endeavour was to create a story rooted in the complexity of human relationships, where mentorship becomes influence and conviction becomes authority. Every creative choice was driven by the intent to build a world that feels immersive, layered, and emotionally resonant, delivering a narrative that stays with audiences long after the story unfolds.”
Sankalp will stream for free from March 11, exclusively on Amazon MX Player, available through its apps on mobile, Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
