After a host of successful shows like ‘Aashram‘, ‘Raktanchal’ and ‘Bhaukaal’, MX Player is back with a new show, titled ‘Nakaab‘. Directed by Soumik Sen, it stars Esha Gupta, Mallika Sherawat and Television actor Gautam Rode in the lead. This crime thriller drama will stream in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil and Telugu on MX Player from the 15th of September. The trailer of ‘Nakaab’ just dropped earlier today, whereas the first look posters of the lead cast were released yesterday.
The trailer of ‘Nakaab’ gives us an insight into the pulse of the show, beginning with a celebrity death and an investigation around it, to ascertain whether it’s an accident, suicide or murder. Esha Gupta and Gautam Rode play police personnel, whereas Mallika Sherawat plays the role of a successful, albeit ruthless producer. The plot further delves into drugs, illegal trade and prostitution, that the police gradually unravel. The story then focuses on the characters of Gupta and Rode, who uncover this mystery, caught under the web of corruption and deceit.
This show may be seen as a comeback for actress Mallika Sherawat, who’s last Bollywood outing was ‘Dirty Politics‘ in 2015, though she was recently seen in AltBalaji’s 2019 horror-comedy series ‘Booo Sabki Phategi’. As for Esha Gupta, she was last seen in Zee5’s 2020 series, ‘REJCTX’ and has the films ‘Hera Pheri 3’ as well as ‘Desi Magic’ in her kitty. Gautam Rode was last seen in the Akshaye Khanna starrer ‘State of Siege: Temple Attack’.
