Ensemble Cast Of Poison
Freddy
Daruwala said, “I’m excited to be a part of Poison since it’s a quintessential
story of human desires and vulnerabilities have no limits. My character in the
show (ACP Vikram) is a cop who is experienced and has observed the dark side of
human behaviour in closed quarters. With increasing excitement for thriller
content among viewers, I hope Poison will turn out to be their next favourite
binge-watch series.”
Tanuj
Virwani said, “The character I am essaying, Ranveer, is a man with a mission.
He is complex and so it was challenging for me to understand the depth of my
role. I have worked round the clock to get a hold of the nuances of Ranveer and
ensure I get into the skin of the character. I am now looking forward to the
launch of Poison. It is exciting how the digital space is evolving and I am
glad to be part of this on ZEE5.”
Riya Sen
Riya Sen
said, “I am ecstatic to be part of Poison on ZEE5. When I heard the script, I
was certain that I have to be a part of this show and right from day one this
has been a memorable journey. The digital platform is dynamic and I am waiting
to see the audience reaction for this show.”
Commenting
on the launch, Aparna Achrekar, Programming Head, ZEE5 India said, “At ZEE5 we
are constantly working towards putting together content which engages the
audiences at large. We are focussed on tapping varied genres and brining to the

step in the same direction. An edge-of-your-seat thriller with an interesting
