Commenting
on
helming
Break
Point
,
Ashwiny
Iyer
Tiwari
and
Nitesh
Tiwari
in
a
joint
statement
said,
"It's
great
to
bring
to
screen
a
series
like
this
on
a
home-grown
video
streaming
platform
like
ZEE5.
Working
with
icons
like
Mahesh
Bhupathi
and
Leander
Paes
has
been
surreal
and
to
bring
their
untold
story
to
screen
is
something
that
we
will
cherish
forever."
Leander
Paes
shares,
"I
enjoyed
this
walk
down
memory
lane
shooting
for
'BREAK
POINT'
with
wonderful
storytellers
like
Ashwiny
Iyer
Tiwari,
Nitesh
Tiwari
in
collaboration
with
ZEE5.
While
Mahesh
and
my
on-court
partnership
was
widely
covered,
and
our
off-court
chemistry
was
largely
speculated.
This
is
the
first
time
that
our
fans
will
get
to
see
and
hear
it
all,
first-hand.
Mahesh
and
I
worked
really
hard
to
put
India
on
the
top
of
world
tennis
and
we
are
glad
that
we
are
getting
a
chance
to
present
our
story
to
the
world,
like
never
before.
Enjoy
our
journey."
Mahesh
Bhupathi
shares,
"It
is
no
secret
that
I
am
reserved
when
it
comes
to
communicating,
so
this
is
a
big
step
for
me
to
relive
the
journey
and
put
it
all
out
there
in
the
most
candid
and
honest
manner.
But,
at
the
same
time,
I
am
happy
that
our
fans
will
get
to
see
our
journey
which
was
a
mix
of
sweat,
perseverance,
brotherhood
and
at
times
blood
and
tears
as
well.
This
is
surely
going
to
be
a
treat
for
all,
and
I
am
thankful
to
Ashwiny,
Nitesh
and
ZEE5
for
giving
it
everything."
For
decades,
Indians
have
celebrated
the
country's
biggest
tennis
heroes
who
made
India
proud
by
winning
many
iconic
matches
and
have
also
speculated
about
their
much
public
split.
However,
for
the
first
time,
the
speculations
will
be
put
to
rest
as
Paes
and
Bhupathi
get
candid
and
honest
about
their
bromance
and
breakup
and
tell
the
world
-
what
happened,
how
it
happened
and
why
it
happened!
Break
Point
will
not
only
construct
their
epic
tennis
matches
but
also
deconstruct
their
relationship,
both
on
and
off
the
court.
Break
Point
is
a
telling
narrative
on
their
friendship,
brotherhood,
partnership,
belief,
hard
work
and
ambitions
which
made
them
one
of
the
most
feared
doubles
pair
during
the
late
1990s,
and
even
ranked
world
number
1
in
the
year
1999.
But
it
also
throws
light
on
their
bitter
breakup
and
how
they
couldn't
hold
on
to
their
meteoric
rise.
Above
all,
it's
a
tale
of
two
friends
who
had
planned
for
success
but
not
for
life
after
success.
Break
Point
marks
ZEE5's
first

Ashwini
Iyer
