Mumbai, September 1: Actors Fatima Sana Shaikh, Aneet Padda, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub will be seen sharing screen space in a new series titled 'Hunkkaar: The Roar'.
On Tuesday, the teaser of the show was unveiled. It explores the the story of 17-year-old Meenu Rawat, "whose accusation against revered cult leader Sunil Chakosi 'Baapji' sets in motion a high-stakes investigation that soon becomes a national reckoning. "
As the teaser unfolds, "glimpses of ACP Jasleen Singh Soni, an underdog lawyer Bhalerao and a determined journalist Amitabh hint at three different battles being fought for the same truth on the ground, in the courtroom and in the media. With power, influence and public perception at stake, Hunkkaar The Roar brings together the intensity of a police procedural, the stakes of a legal drama and the complexities of a media trial," as per the makers.
Directed by Karan D Kapadia, Nitya Mehra and Heeraz Marfatia, the series also stars Raghubir Yadav and Ram Kapoor among others.
Aneet shot for this project before her Bollywood debut 'Hunkkaar'.
