The official synopsis states, ''Fate makes him cross paths with Jayvrat Sahni, a middle-aged bachelor, played by Ranvir Shorey, who goes on to become an unexpected ally, and together, they embark on a journey of solving mysteries.''
Menon, known for his stellar performances in Black Friday, Sarkar, Haider, and Special OPS, said he instantly fell in love with the complex world of the show and his character. "Shekhar’s character took me back to the good old days. I re-lived the memories of the time when social media was not even a thing. After reading the script and analysing this role, I was drawn to the complexity of unravelling mysteries.''
'The series isn't just about solving crimes, it's also about exploring human nature in all its aspects- from love and loyalty to betrayal and deceit. Playing Shekhar was a pure delight. I’m excited to bring Shekhar to all of you,'' he added talking more about the series.
The six-episode series, which is set in the early 1990s in the tranquil town of Lonpur, Bengal, is produced by BBC Studios Productions India.
