Director Hansal Mehta’s series ‘Scoop’ will premiere on June 2, streaming platform Netflix announced yesterday.
The program is co-created by Mehta and Mrunmayee Lagoo Waikul (writer of ‘Thappad’) and is inspired by Jigna Vora’s biographical book ‘Behind the Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison’.

“While pursuing a career-defining story, Jagruti Pathak becomes entangled in the powerful nexus of the police, the underworld, and the media when she is charged with the murder of a fellow journalist.” How does a journalist who writes headlines become the headline?” read the official synopsis.
