Mumbai witnessed a glamorous gathering of the entertainment fraternity as several prominent names stepped out for the special screening of Hunkkaar: The Roar on September 24, 2026. Ahead of the series’ OTT premiere, Zahan Kapoor, Zoya Akhtar, Pratik Gandhi and his wife Anya Singh, Shweta Tripathi, Nitya Mehra, Angira Dhar, Anand Tiwari, Manisha Lamba, Jim Sarbh and Dhvani Bhanushali were among the celebrities who attended the event.

The event took place just a day before Hunkkaar: The Roar was scheduled to premiere on JioHotstar on September 25. Directors Nitya Mehra and Karan D. Kapadia were also present alongside members of the ensemble team. With an intriguing subject and a cast featuring several acclaimed performers, the screening served as a major promotional moment for the socio-thriller ahead of its digital debut.
At the heart of Hunkkaar: The Roar is the story of a 17-year-old girl who takes on a powerful and revered cult leader. Her decision sets off a much larger confrontation that extends beyond her personal battle, eventually becoming a national debate involving faith, authority and the legal system. The series combines elements of a socio-thriller and courtroom drama, promising a tense narrative built around a young protagonist challenging a formidable institution.
The series features an ensemble cast that includes Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Arjun Mathur, Ram Kapoor and Raghubir Yadav alongside its central performers. The presence of actors known for their work across films, television and streaming projects adds considerable depth to the series. With its courtroom setting and socially charged premise, Hunkkaar: The Roar is positioned as a drama that explores the difficult space where personal conviction, public faith and the law collide.
The project is backed by Applause Entertainment and Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ Purple Pebble Pictures, bringing together production houses with an established presence in the Indian entertainment and streaming space. The series’ creative team has chosen a subject that allows the narrative to move between personal stakes and a much wider societal conflict. The central legal battle surrounding the teenager’s challenge to the cult leader forms the dramatic foundation of the story.
With the Mumbai screening drawing a strong celebrity turnout, anticipation is now building for the series’ official release. Hunkkaar: The Roar premieres on JioHotstar on September 25, 2026. Led by a strong ensemble and driven by a courtroom conflict involving faith, power and justice, the series is set to bring a gritty socio-thriller to the streaming platform. The star-studded screening has added another layer of buzz just as the series prepares to meet audiences.
