Sach versusSans­ani

- CJ DESK

Makers of the upcoming thriller series The Broken News season 2 unveiled the official trailer on Tuesday. Directed by Vinay Waikul and written by Sambit Mishra, Broken News is based on the world of news reporting.

Taking to Instagram, OTT platform treated fans with trailer which they captioned, “Breaking news ki nayi kahani, sach bhi banega sansani!#TheBrokenN­ewsS2 premieres 3rd May, only on #ZEE5. #TheBrokenN­ewsS2OnZEE­5.”

The new season will see Sonali Bendre, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Shriya Pilgaonkar reprise their roles as Ameena Qureshi, Dipankar Sanyal and Radha Bhargava respective­ly.

In the first season of

The Broken News,

Shriya’s character Radha Bhargava, is accused of terrorism and imprisoned. However, the sequel focuses on Radha’s vengeance against Diapankar Sanyal (played by Jaideep Ahlawat).

The trailer opens with Radha informing Ameena Qureshi, played by Sonali, of a scoop that could destroy Dipankar’s career.

In this thrilling new season, the ‘sach’ versus

‘sansani’ battle escalates beyond the newsroom, evolving into a personal struggle for survival.

Recognisin­g that unbiased news reporting alone cannot combat Josh 24x7’s propaganda, she is prepared to engage in methods to purge the corrupt system.

In Radha’s absence, Ameena shoulders the responsibi­lity of fighting the ‘Sach’ battle alone, venturing into the streets to uncover the truth amidst personal risk. Dipankar’s brand of

‘sansani’ news dominates TRPs but he is compelled to utilise his ‘sansani’ ideology to sway public opinion and further his personal and corporate agendas.

The conflict between the idealistic editor Ameena of Awaaz Bharti and the TRP-hungry Dipankar, who heads Josh24X7, is also set to become darker in the new season.
