Though it is branded and presented like a suspense thriller play, which in fact it is, what inspires me the most about this show is layered definitions of love that characters in this play hold on to. Love in itself is a mystery and this play has given me a chance to delve deeper in that mystery. The challenge with writing and creating such plays is you are writing a thriller with one mind but there are 600-700 minds in the audience trying to crack your suspense points. So, you have to think ahead of them and try to fill all loopholes and make it a watertight script. Anup Soni and Nivedita Bhattacharya to play the lead roles in this latest edition of the show. They both come with a lot of experience and professionalism and add a lot of value to the production with this immaculate performance. Also, this play was officially adapted into a film during lock down by Zee 5.
