Domestic OTT Zee5 cancelled the launch of the much anticipated crime thriller web series ‘Raat Baaki Hai’, which was supposed to come out yesterday, 20th November 2020. This new Indian OTT show was supposed to star Paoli Dam, Anup Soni and Rahul Dev in lead roles.
There are many reasons as to why this may have happened but we haven’t received an official statement from the Indian streaming platform as of yet. According to some, it might have been the abrupt resignation of the CEO of Zee5, Tarun Katial, from his position in the OTT streaming service. Or it might have been the fact that the series was leaked online and viewed by many people online. Anyway, whatever the reason may be, Zee5 has even pulled the teaser from its social media accounts.
This series is set around the themes of love, deceit and revenge. It revolves around one night where two estranged lovers Karthik and Vasuki end up meeting each other after 12 years under peculiar events. One of them is a murder suspect and as the story unfolds, unexpected twists and turns will change the narrative.
The team began shooting in Rajasthan mid-September and wrapped up the production by early October. This brilliant thriller is based on the famous play ‘Ballygunj 1990’, where the story is set in Rajasthan. ‘Rangbaaz’ script writer Siddharth Mishra has penned the script for the OTT series, which ‘Anarkali of Aara’ writer and director has helmed the web-series.
