ZEE5
is
all
set
to
bring

a
gripping
story
that
put
Indian
tennis
on
the
world
map
with
the
series,
'BREAK
POINT'.
Co-directed
by
Ashwiny
Iyer
Tiwari
and
Nitesh
Tiwari,
Break
Point
is
the
untold
'Bromance
to
Breakup'
story
based
on
the
iconic
on-court
partnership
and
off-court
lives
of
living
legends,
Leander
Paes
and
Mahesh
Bhupathi
which
will
premiere
on
India's
largest
home-grown
video
streaming
platform,
ZEE5,
on
1st
October.
The
7-part
series
will
not
only
construct
the
epic
tennis
matches
featuring
Lee-Hesh
but
also
deconstruct
their
relationship,
both
on
and
off
the
court
and
their
public
split.
Break
Point
also
features
other
tennis
legends
like
Martina
Hingis,
Sania
Mirza,
Rohan
Bopanna
among
others
who
share
their
views
on
the
magical
Lee-Hesh
relationship
which
made
them
win
Grand
Slams
on
the
court
even
when
they
were
on
the
verge
of
breaking
up.
Among
the
list
of
celebrated
guests
from
the
sports
field
featured
on
the
show,
there's
also
Martina
Hingis
-
who
has
played
doubles
with
both,
Leander
Paes
and
Mahesh
Bhupathi.
Talking
about
the
time
Paes
and
Bhupathi
decided
to
part
ways,
Martina
Hingis
says,
"Either
you
can
make
it
or
you
don't,
but
there
is
no
time
to
hesitate
and
once
you
start
doubting
your
partner,
it's
better
to
split
up."
"What
they
whiffed
through,
what
they
shared...
their
stories
and
their
success,
that's
something
that
lasts
forever," Martina
adds.
Despite
their
public
break-up,
Leander
Paes
and
Mahesh
Bhupathi
were
the
most
feared
doubles
pair
during
the
late
1990s.
Break
Point
is
a
telling
tale
of
their
friendship,
partnership,
brotherhood,
ambition
and
hard
work.
Break
Point
marks
