Janaawar – The Beast Within is a haunting tale of crime and courage set in the heartlands starring Bhuvan Arora
ZEE5 Global has announced the premiere of its latest original series, Janaawar – The Beast Within, starring Bhuvan Arora in a breakthrough lead role. A layered crime drama, Janaawar – The Beast Within transports viewers to the rural town of Chhand, where age-old hierarchies collide with modern-day crime and corruption.
At the heart of the story is Sub-Inspector Hemant Kumar, played by Bhuvan Arora—a sharp, relentless officer from a marginalized tribal caste whose life is upended by a series of chilling events in the town. A headless corpse, missing gold, and a vanished man set off a chain of mysteries that pull him into a dangerous investigation. As Hemant dives deeper into the investigations, he finds himself confronting not just the darkness of human greed but also the weight of systemic bias, his own inner demons and personal struggles that threaten to break him.
Produced by Aarambh Entertainment Pvt. Ltd – Janaawar – The Beast Within is more than a crime thriller. It is the story of a man’s fight for dignity in a world determined to deny him recognition, and of a community’s deep-rooted faith in its Gram Devta. As Hemant peels back layers of guilt, betrayal, and hidden truths, he learns that true identity is carved not by birth, but by courage in the face of adversity.
Director Shachindra Vats says, “Janaawar – The Beast Within is a story that needed to be told. It was never just about making a crime thriller—it was about giving a voice to the struggles, hopes, and dignity of people who often go unheard. Working with ZEE5 Global has been a wonderful experience because they understood the vision and the sensitivity the story needed. Watching the actors bring such honesty and depth to their roles has been incredibly fulfilling. My hope is that when audiences watch Janaawar – The Beast Within, they don’t just see a thriller but also feel the heart that beats within it.”
