Netflix’s Operation Safed Sagar Pays Tribute to Raju Srivastava in Every EpisodePreviousNext

Operation Safed Sagar, a Netflix series directed by Kushal Srivastava, honors late comedian Raju Srivastava with a tribute at the end of each episode, reflecting his personal and professional support. Initially planned as a film, the project evolved into a series after delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and received Netflix approval in May 2022. Raju, who passed away in September 2022, was closely involved in early research and helped with permissions. His family, including daughter Antara Srivastav, views the series as a meaningful tribute.
