ZEE5 Global has announced its upcoming original series Satrangi – Badle Ka Khel, a revenge drama set to premiere soon.
Produced by RND Film LLP and directed by Jai Basantu Singh, the series promises a gripping and emotionally charged narrative rooted in rural India.
Set in the rugged landscape of Uttar Pradesh, the show explores themes of honour, identity, love and vengeance within a deeply traditional setting.
The ensemble cast is led by Anshumaan Pushkar and Mahvash, alongside Kumud Mishra, Upen Chauhan and Saddam Sophia Hussain.
Additional performances come from Atul Kusum Sanjay, B. Shantunu and Amir Khan.
At the centre of the story is Bablu Mahto, a young man navigating stigma as the son of a launda dancer.
Forced into his father’s profession, Bablu secretly harbours a desire for revenge against the influential Singh family.
As the narrative unfolds, viewers are drawn into a world shaped by societal expectations, complex relationships and simmering tensions.
The series blends raw storytelling with layered performances, aiming to deliver a culturally grounded yet emotionally intense viewing experience.
Mahvash described the project as a refreshing shift, allowing her to explore a more intense and dramatic performance space.
She added that the emotionally challenging nature of the story made the experience deeply rewarding and creatively fulfilling.
Anshumaan Pushkar highlighted the opportunity to portray a launda dancer’s life with empathy and authenticity, avoiding stereotypes often associated with the role.
He noted that the character demanded emotional restraint and internal depth rather than exaggerated drama.
Kaveri Das emphasised the platform’s commitment to telling stories rooted in local cultures and lived realities.
She explained that the series offers an unfiltered look at dignity, social hierarchy and resilience within rural communities.
Director Jai Basantu Singh said the story thrives on both silence and conflict, making Bablu’s journey deeply personal yet universally relatable.
He added that every character operates in shades of grey, intensifying the drama and reflecting real-world complexities.
Producers Dilip Bachchan Jha and Ritesh Modi described the series as emotionally layered, with a unique backdrop and strong storytelling at its core.
They expressed confidence that audiences will connect with its powerful narrative and high production values.
With its focus on identity, injustice and revenge, Satrangi – Badle Ka Khel aims to resonate with viewers seeking authentic, hard-hitting South Asian stories.
The series will premiere soon exclusively on ZEE5 Global.
