Making Imran not boring was the biggest task: Zeeshan Ayyub on his ‘Scoop’ role
New Delhi, Jun 26 (PTI) Director Hansal Mehta's instructions were clear. Make Imran Siddiqui, the principled editor of his OTT show “Scoop”, human and not preachy. It was the “biggest task”, says actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub of his much acclaimed role as an upright journalist who speaks of truth and honesty.
"Scoop" follows Jagruti Pathak (Karishma Tanna), a star crime reporter at a Mumbai newspaper who makes headlines after she is accused of her rival Jaideb Sen's (Prosenjit Chatterjee) murder and finds support in her level headed, soft spoken editor Imran.
The Netflix show is inspired by journalist Jigna Vora’s memoir, “Behind the Bars In Byculla: My Days in Prison”. According to Zeeshan, Jagruti Pathak is the protagonist and centre of the story but Imran is the hero as he represents everything the show is trying to convey.
