'State of Siege: Temple Attack': Akshaye Khanna receives praises from Lt. Col Sundeep Sen

Actor Akshaye Khanna is set to make a digital debut with his forthcoming movie State of Siege: Temple Attack. In the movie, Akshaye will be seen essaying the role of NSG commander Hanut Singh. The movie, which is directed by Ken Ghosh is based on the 2002 terrorist attack that took place in Akshardham Temple in Gujarat.

Lt. Colonel (retd) Sundeep Sen, who has also acted as advisor and consultant on earlier terror attack movie the State of Siege: 26/11 praised Khanna for his dedication to the role. Sharing his experience working with Akshaye,  Lt. Col  Sundeep Sen said, "I share a great equation with the entire star cast. Akshaye especially was already prepared and well researched to play an NSG commando. We didn't train Akshaye as such but he was extremely particular about every scene. He would always ask for my feedback after every scene and only then finalise.".

Speaking about his preparedness for handling the arms and ammunitions, Sundeep said "Talking about the other aspects like holding a gun, language and gestures of a black cat, Akshaye was already prepared for it". State of Siege: Temple Attack is all set to release on Zee5 on July 9. It also stars Gautam Rode and Vivek Dahiya.
