Filmmaker Hansal Mehta joins Sandip Roy to talk about his latest TV series, Scoop, which is based on journalist Jigna Vora's book 'Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison.' In the book, she shares her experience of being accused, arrested, and tried in court for journalist Jyotirmoy Dey’s killing, before ultimately being acquitted of all charges. During their discussion, they delve into the making of the show, the state of journalism, the differences between writing for a film and writing for OTT, and how Mehta confronts his demons through his characters.Produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
