Zoya Hussain, who made her acting debut Anurag Kashyap‘s Mukkabaaz (2017), is all set to capture the attention of the viewers with her next, Grahan. The trailer of the new Hotstar Specials web series dropped yesterday. It is based on Satya Vyas’ novel Chaurasi which is set against the backdrop of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots that broke out in India following the assassination of then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi.
Previously seen in Laal Kaptaan, the actress plays an author-backed role of a police officer Amrita Singh who leads the SIT (Special Investigative Team) in the re-inquiry of the Bokaro riots. The twist in the tale comes when, during the course of her investigation, Amrita learns that her father Rishi Ranjan (played by Pavan Malhotra) played a prominent part in it.
Have a look at the trailer here—
By the looks of the trailer, Zoya seems to have correctly portrayed the myriad emotions felt by the Superintendent of Police Amrita Singh from the time she’s given charge of the SIT to discovering that the case has roots in her own home.
The mystery of Rishi Ranjan’s involvement in the Bokaro riots and how Amrita Singh deals with it as a cop and as a daughter will be seen when the series Grahan drops on Disney Hotstar on June 24. The eight-episode series is helmed by Ranjan Chandel with Shailendra Jha as showrunner. It has has been produced by Jar Pictures.
I am super excited to see what the talented actress has in store for us!
