More than the edgy premise, which tells stories of star-crossed lovers from the realm of the forbidden, it is the list of the four acclaimed directors that has caught our attention and held it firm. And they are – Priyadarshan, Pradeep Sarkar, Mahesh Manjrekar and Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury. Ooh, it sounds exciting already!
All four directors are National Award winners and masters of their field, bringing unique sensibilities to their creations. Priyadarshan returns to direction after what seems like ages. And we’re certainly looking forward to seeing what these four maestros have up their talented sleeves.
The cast of the anthology is interesting and varied. ‘Rules Of The Game’ has Aahana Kumra and Chandan Roy Sanyal as leads. ‘Arranged Marriage’ has the super talented Ali Fazal, Omkar Kapoor and Patralekha in the lead. ‘Anamika’ has Harsh Chhaya. And the last ‘Diagnosis Of Love’ has the pretty and talented Raima Sen, Rannvijay Singha and Mahesh Manjrekar himself as the primary cast.
If there is one Indian streaming platform that gives tough competition to Netflix in terms of sheer prolificacy and diversity of content, it has to be ZEE5.

Forbidden Love Chapter One arrives on ZEE5 on 9th September. Stay tuned to Binged.com for further news on the new ZEE5 offering.
