A teenager's accusation against a revered cult leader sets the plot of Hunkkaar: The Roar in motion. The teaser introduces 17-year-old Meenu Rawat and a case that quickly grows into a national reckoning.

The series follows three battles over the same truth. ACP Jasleen Singh Soni leads the police-procedural strand, an underdog lawyer named Bhalerao takes the fight into court, and determined journalist Amitabh pursues the story through the media. Power, influence and public perception are all at stake.

Fatima Sana Shaikh, Aneet Padda and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub lead the cast, alongside Raghubir Yadav and Ram Kapoor. Karan D Kapadia, Nitya Mehra and Heeraz Marfatia direct the series.

Padda said she filmed the project before her Bollywood debut in Saiyaara and described Hunkkaar as a long-standing part of her journey. Produced by Birla Studios and Applause Entertainment with Purple Pebble Pictures, the series will begin streaming on JioHotstar on Sept. 25.

Presenting a little something I shot before Saiyaara. Hunkkaar has been a part of my journey for a while, and I'm glad to finally share it with you all. Justice will not be delayed, only Hunkkaar's roar of truth will be heard.

— Aneet PaddaThe actor shared her excitement about the series on Instagram and linked it to her work before Saiyaara.
