Zee5 apologises for using Khudiram Bose's photo on a criminal board

A still from Abhay 2

The makers of Abhay 2, starring Kunal Kemmu, are facing the heat for using an image of freedom fighter Khudiram Bose on a criminal board in the web series. Many netizens are calling for a boycott of the OTT platform. Zee5 has apologised and Bose's photo has been blurred.

Speaking about the show, Abhay 2 is a crime thriller starring Kunal Khemmu, who will be seen playing the title role of Abhay Pratap Singh. Asked about his character, Kapoor said: "It is really tough to share anything about the character because it is one of the secretive characters. In fact, my character does not have a name, one cannot really put an adjective to describe this character. He might come across as a complete psychopath but there is a story, a cause behind his madness. It is a convoluted character."

In a media interaction, Asha Negi, who will be seen playing the character of a journalist, shared, "This is the first time in my career that I will be essaying the role of a journalist and I am really kicked about it. Most of the time I have portrayed the role of a girl next door in the past, so I am sure I will surprise the audiences this time around. I am glad that I got the opportunity to be a part of Abhay 2 and explore this new version of me."

Abhay 2 is directed by Ken Ghosh and it also features Chunky Panday, Asha Negi, Nidhi Singh, Bidita Bag, Raghav Juval, Indraneil Sengupta and Asheema Vardhan. The show is streaming on Zee5.
