Starring Prateik Babbar as Inspector Virkar who is in an intense race against time to nab a faceless blackmailer, this MX Original Series releases on 12th March
Promising to redefine the genre of tense cat and mouse thrillers is MX Player’s next urban crime series, ‘Chakravyuh – An Inspector Virkar Crime Thriller’. This MX Original Series sees the eccentric Inspector Virkar (played by Prateik Babbar) in a race against time and on a mission to unmask a ruthless blackmailer who uses the dark web and social networking sites to victimize young college students. Based on best-selling author Piyush Jha’s book called ‘Anti-Social Network’, this series will be releasing on 12th March and can be streamed for FREE, exclusively on MX Player.
Directed by Sajit Warrior, ‘Chakravyuh – An Inspector Virkar Crime Thriller’ is an 8-episodic present-day story of an angry cop with his own brand of justice, who stumbles upon a case of ghastly murder. In the process of his investigation, Inspector Virkar comes across a group of tech savvy miscreants who use the internet for blackmail & other illegal activity. With the help of an informant, a hacker and a student counselor, Inspector Virkar is focused on finding the missing link between both these cases.
Speaking about his character, Prateik Babbar said – “I’m hoping to showcase my versatility as an actor with the eccentric Virkar. The series sees my character in a constant chase against time, trying to stay ahead of a ruthless blackmailer and not allowing the wrong to overpower the truth. Virkar is a cop who fights for the right in his own unique way – many a times steering away from the rule book and will go to any extent to follow the truth”. Along with Prateik Babbar, the series also stars Simran Kaur Mundi, Ruhi Singh, Ashish Vidyarthi, Shiv Panditt, Gopal Datt and Asif Basra in pivotal roles. Produced by Applause Entertainment in association with Mayavid, this MX Original Series will stream for FREE, exclusively on MX Player on 12 March 2021.
