its cast found a lighter moment away from the intense world of the JioHotstar series While Hunkkaar : The Roar deals with a serious and disturbing subject. At the Mumbai premiere, actors Aneet Padda and Charu Shankar shared a playful behind-the-scenes moment as they broke into an impromptu song about their co-star Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub ’s perfectly styled hair.
Even Ranveer Singh and his family made an appearance to support the show. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub plays Bhalerao, the lawyer representing Meenu, while Ram Kapoor plays the lawyer defending Baapji. Raghubir Yadav plays Baapji, the godman at the centre of the allegations. Arjun Mathur plays a television journalist who finds himself questioning how far the media should go while covering a case like this.
The series premiere took place earlier this week, with the cast and crew in attendance.
An excerpt from Hindustan Times review read, “Streaming was meant to liberate Indian storytelling. At least, that was the Utopian idea a decade ago when it all began. But over the years, this ‘new’ medium has also fallen prey to tropes, formulas, and algorithms. Of late, it has also fallen prey to self-censorship, with makers and platforms not daring to attempt subjects that can cause ‘trouble’. All that taken into account, it’s a miracle Hunkkaar even got made, and no suit in a cabin vetoed it during its journey. That it got made so well after all that makes it a gift for the viewers.”
