This 70s style masala series is the story of a wrongly convicted police officer and his fight for survival through kidnapping, a mysterious murder, desperation for money and betrayal in love.

Describing his role, Arunoday Singh said: “I am glad to have got the opportunity to play the role of a cop again in my career. I loved essaying this rustic character and to be honest I had to really work hard to grasp the Hindi dialect. Apharan has an extremely intriguing strong storyline and spicing it up further is its pacy narrative. I am overwhelmed by the kind of response we have got for the trailer from the Delhiites. I delighted to be here and I am hoping that the audience likes our web-series as much as we loved making it.” The character of Arunoday Singh sports a proper Bhojpuri accent and with the rugged look of a 70s angry young hero.

Actor-turned-writer Varun Badola added: “It’s a thriller that’ll keep you hooked throughout and has epic hilarious one-liners in the most unexpected situations.”

Playing a pivotal role in the series, Mahie Gill said, “It has a fantastic storyline and I feel each of us has really delivered to best of our potential. Delhi has always been special for me from the day I have entered the entertainment industry and I am glad to have received so much love and affection from the people here. I am sure people will appreciate the honest efforts we have put in Apharan.”

The show will be streamed on ALTBalaji from 14 December.
