Mumbai:  Streaming giant ZEE5 has dropped the official trailer of its upcoming original web series, 'Chhal Kapat: The Deception, reports Dynamite News correspondent.

Directed by Ajay Bhuyan and bankrolled by Juggernaut Productions, the web series boasts a stellar ensemble cast including, Shriya Pilgaonkar in the lead, as well as Kamya Ahlawat, Ragini Dwivedi, Tuhina Das, Yahhve Sharma, Pranay Pachauri, Smaran Sahu and Anuj Sachdeva.

Set in the culturally rich town of Burhanpur, the storyline follows a seemingly joyous wedding that unravels into chaos after the sudden and mysterious death of one of the bride's closest friends.

The celebration turns into a tense suspense story filled with secrets, resentments and betrayals among lifelong friends. Shriya Pilgaonkar plays Inspector Devika, a steeply, sharp-minded officer with a murky past and an unflinching instinct for uncovering the truth. As the facade of festivity crumbles, what emerges is a harrowing exploration of deceit, guilt and the fragility of trust.

Shriya Pilgaonkar said, "'Chhal Kapat: The Deception' isn’t your typical murder mystery or whodunnit. I’m thrilled to be playing a police officer for the first time—but what makes this role truly special is the complexity of the character.

"Devika isn’t just an officer; she’s someone haunted by a dark past, which in turn sharpens her investigative instincts. She sees what others might miss, not in spite of her past, but because of it. It’s exciting to portray a cop who breaks the mold—Devika is sharp, and morally complex.

Characters like hers are rarely seen in this space, where officers are often portrayed as strictly black or white. I am excited for viewers to watch me in this binge-worthy, past-faced whodunnit only on ZEE5 from 6th June”.

Director Ajay Bhuyan shared, "From the very beginning, I envisioned 'Chhal Kapat: The Deception' as more than just a murder mystery—I wanted to explore the dark undercurrents that run beneath seemingly joyous occasions. The wedding setting gave us the perfect canvas: drama, emotions, and stunning visuals—all wrapped in suspense.

"Having Shriya Pilgaonkar on board as Inspector Devika was a game-changer. She hasn’t just played the role; she’s lived it. The trailer is just a glimpse—what lies ahead is a deeply layered story that will keep audiences hooked till the very end. This series has everything—drama, emotion, a stunning backdrop, and edge-of-the-seat suspense.

It’s a full-on entertainment package, and I can’t wait for the audience to experience the thrilling journey we’ve created”. 'Chhal Kapat: The Deception' premieres on ZEE5 on June 6.
