Scoop trailer out

Karishma Tanna leads this fast-paced crime thriller series. She plays the role of crime reporter Jagruti Pathak. The trailer establishes the quick and victorious trajectory of her career having become the Deputy Bureau Chief in just seven years with three promotions. Her links with the underworld are established in the first ten seconds of the trailer as 'Nana' - gangster Chhota Rajan, calls Jagruti at her office and specifically asks for her.

Though Jagruti prides herself in being able to consistently break big stories there are many who doubt her ways. When senior crime reporter Jaideb Sen is murdered in broad daylight, Jagruti emerges as the prime suspect. Her connections with the underworld come to haunt her, as those responsible for his murder claim she provoked them. The rest of the trailer reveals Jagruti's story in how she maneuvers her time in prison while attempting to prove her innocence. The trailer reveals how the story essentially captures the theme of "You either break the story or the story breaks you".
