Mumbai, Nov 4

“I eagerly anticipate sharing this thrilling series with the audience and believe it will captivate them, keeping them on the edge of their seats,” he added.

The eight-episode series will spotlight historical landmarks such as Nalanda University, Golconda Fort, Mahabalipuram, Brihadeeswara Temple, the city of Lakhpat, and the Saraswati River.

The show will also explore theories regarding the disappearance of Nana Saheb Peshwa II.

‘History Hunter' will premiere on November 20 on Discovery Channel, and discovery+.
