RSVP Movies Announces Panthers With Rensil D’silva

Producer Ronnie Screwala and filmmaker Rensil D’silva are joining forces for a series titled Panthers, which will chronicles exploits of RAW heroes of the bygone era as they follow clues, nab their targets, gather information and link together the pieces of the puzzle.

The official handle of RSVP Movies dropped the confirmation on the series. It said, “An ode to our RAW agents that put India before self…Presenting to you, our riveting espionage series - #PANTHERS! @RensilDSilva @RonnieScrewvala @prem_rajgo @imukeshtak @pashanjal @Tweet2Amish @bluemonkey_film @Cairsaangri”

Multi-season series espionage thriller will be produced by Screwvala’s RSVP production company and co-produced by Blue Monkey. Directed and run by Rensil D’Silva, the series stays raw and rooted in the Indo-Pak spy games of the late 60s and early 70s.

A major highlight of the series is the recreation of a purported conspiracy masterminded by the ISI to hijack an Indian Airlines plane piloted by Rajiv Gandhi in the early 1970s. The incident was recently mentioned in a book by a former RAW agent, who said that RAW was able to neutralise the threat.

‘Panthers’ goes on floors in the first quarter of 2022.
