State of Seige; Temple Attack continues the legacy of the Seige series to honour Indian soldiers.

The film is based on the terrorist attack on Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar in Gujarat in 2002 in which 30 people lost their lives and 80 were injured.

Later, the National Security Guards arrived at the destination and took charge of the situation.

Retired Lt Col Sundeep Sen who was a consultant on the State of Siege: 26/11 and the 2nd in Command at the NSG during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks will provide his expertise for this film .

Abhimanyu Singh, founder and CEO, Contiloe Pictures has said they aim to showcase what went behind some of the attacks the country has witnessed, through the 'Siege' franchise.

"The narrative focused on the counter-insurgency by our NSG commandos during the 26/11 attacks. 'State of Siege: Akshardham' felt like the apt and natural next chapter to pursue on our path of our siege narratives," he said.

Speaking about the film, director Ken Ghosh had earlier said, "everyone knows about the Akshardham attacks, but not many know what happened behind the scenes and the role that our brave NSG soldiers played. We will decode the entire event and present it to the viewers through our film,."
