Veteran actor Nana Patekar makes his long-awaited OTT debut with Sankalp, a socio-political thriller premiering exclusively on Amazon MX Player on March 11, 2026. Directed by Prakash Jha and produced by Jio Studios under the PJP Films Productions banner, the series marks Prakash Jha’s return to web storytelling with a gripping narrative anchored in power, corruption, and ideological warfare in modern India.
When Is Sankalp Releasing on OTT?
Sankalp premieres on March 11, 2026, exclusively on Amazon MX Player. The series will be available to stream free of cost across multiple platforms — including the MX Player app, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xstream. The free-to-stream model on MX Player gives Sankalp one of the widest distribution footprints of any OTT release this month, potentially reaching audiences well beyond the paid subscriber base of traditional platforms.
The March 11 release date makes Sankalp one of the most anticipated OTT premieres of the week, particularly given Nana Patekar’s decades-long absence from streaming content and the political thriller genre’s consistent performance on digital platforms in India.
What Is Sankalp About?
Sankalp is a socio-political thriller built around the thematic triad of Sanskaar, Satta, and Samarpan — values, power, and devotion — exploring how these forces collide in the corridors of Indian bureaucracy and political life. The series delves into revenge, ideological warfare, mentorship, and the deep-rooted corruption that defines modern institutional India.
At the centre of the story stands Ma’at Saab, played by Nana Patekar — a commanding master strategist whose authority, moral code, and cold intelligence drive the series forward. The teaser positions him as a figure who operates beyond conventional political boundaries, pulling strings from the shadows while maintaining an outward persona of principled leadership. Director Prakash Jha has built his career on exactly this kind of storytelling — politically charged, morally ambiguous narratives that refuse easy heroes and villains — and Sankalp appears to sit firmly within that tradition.

Who Stars in Sankalp?
Nana Patekar leads the series as Ma’at Saab in his first-ever OTT appearance. Known for an extraordinary film career spanning four decades, with performances in films like Krantiveer, Prahar, and Welcome, Nana Patekar has remained a towering presence in Indian cinema without ever stepping into the streaming space until now. His debut in Sankalp has been one of the most talked-about OTT announcements of early 2026.
The ensemble cast supporting him is equally strong. Sanjay Kapoor, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Neeraj Kabi, Kubbra Sait, and Kranti Prakash Jha all feature in pivotal roles. The combination of Nana Patekar’s gravitas with a cast that includes Zeeshan Ayyub and Neeraj Kabi — both exceptional performers in the political drama space — gives Sankalp one of the strongest ensemble lineups of any OTT release this season.
Who Is Behind Sankalp?
Sankalp is directed by Prakash Jha, the filmmaker behind political classics like Gangaajal, Raajneeti, and Chakravyuh. Prakash Jha is no stranger to OTT — his Aashram series on MX Player became one of the platform’s biggest original hits — and Sankalp represents his return to the same platform with a story that taps directly into his filmmaking DNA. The series is a presentation of Jio Studios, produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Dishaa Jhaa under the PJP Films Productions banner.
Where Can You Watch Sankalp?
Sankalp streams on Amazon MX Player from March 11, 2026. It is free to watch on the MX Player app, the Amazon app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xstream — no paid subscription required. The series is in Hindi and is expected to reach a wide national audience given its free streaming availability across some of India’s most widely used digital platforms.
