Dishaa Jhaa on ‘Sanakalp’: Producing the Grand Amazon MX Player Series with Nana Patekar and Prakash Jha

Sanakalp, the ambitious web series, made its debut on Amazon MX Player on March 11. producer Dishaa Jhaa opened up about the challenges of mounting such a grand project, her experience collaborating with veteran actor Nana Patekar, and the unique dynamic of working alongside her father, filmmaker Prakash Jha—whom she respectfully refers to as “sir.

Sankalp stands apart from the usual digital fare—it’s a refreshing, family-friendly entertainer. While many assumed that, with Prakash Jha at the helm, the series would lean heavily into politics, the truth is quite different. The political undertone is minimal; instead, the show unfolds as a gripping revenge drama.
Talking about her experience with Nana Patekar, Dishaa Jhaa shared that it was truly special. Nana has known her since birth and she first worked with him in Raajneeti (2010). Despite his intense on-screen persona, he’s surprisingly light-hearted off camera—always joking, pulling pranks, and engaging in playful banter. Between takes, he would chat warmly about family and early beginnings, not just with her but with many on set, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere.
