Director Hansal Mehta on Scoop…

In an interview with Variety, Mehta elaborated on what fascinated him about a story. He said, “The book is primarily based in the prison, I wanted to expand the scope of the book because I found the world that led her to prison very fascinating,”Mehta said. And further added, “It became this larger drama about a middle-class girl in Mumbai with the middle-class aspirations of being the best crime reporter, having pieces on page one. She blindly chases those ambitions not realizing that in the bargain, the reporter becomes the reported, so that fascinated me. I found the elements of a thrilling, investigative procedural drama.”
