Bollywood Power Couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh Champion Upcoming Series ‘Hunkkaar: The Roar’
The excitement surrounding the upcoming web series Hunkkaar: The Roar has reached a fever pitch, and it has found some of the biggest advocates in the industry. Bollywood superstars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have officially thrown their weight behind the project, taking to social media to amplify the buzz following the release of the show’s teaser trailer.
A High-Profile Endorsement
The power couple’s support came shortly after the project’s teaser debut on Tuesday. Ranveer Singh was quick to react, sharing the clip via his Instagram Stories with an enthusiastic caption: “Bangggg LFG.” Deepika Padukone soon followed, sharing the teaser on her own handle and tagging director Karan D. Kapadia, signaling her personal investment in the upcoming series.
What to Expect from ‘Hunkkaar: The Roar’
The series promises to be a gripping exploration of justice and influence. Set against the backdrop of a national reckoning, the narrative centers on 17-year-old Meenu Rawat, whose harrowing accusation against a revered cult leader named Sunil Chakosi—known as “Baapji”—triggers a high-stakes investigation.
The drama unfolds through three distinct lenses:
- The Ground: Follows ACP Jasleen Singh Soni’s pursuit of evidence.
- The Courtroom: Focuses on the struggle of an underdog lawyer named Bhalerao.
- The Media: Highlights the determination of a journalist named Amitabh.
According to the makers, the show masterfully blends the intensity of a police procedural with the high stakes of a legal drama and the cutthroat nature of a media trial. The series boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Aneet Padda, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Raghubir Yadav, and Ram Kapoor. It is helmed by a directorial trio consisting of Karan D. Kapadia, Nitya Mehra, and Heeraz Marfatia.
Aneet Padda’s Journey
For lead actress Aneet Padda, the project holds a special place in her career. Having gained recognition for her work in the romantic film Saiyaara, Padda revealed that she actually filmed Hunkkaar prior to her Bollywood debut.
Expressing her excitement on Instagram, she shared, “Hunkkaar has been a part of my journey for a while, and I’m glad to finally share it with you all. Nahi hoga insaaf ka intezaar, bas goonjegi sachhai ki Hunkkaar.“
