Mumbai, March 31 – The upcoming streaming show ‘Satrangi – Badle Ka Khel’ is set to present the life of a cross-dressing dancer. This revenge drama is set against the backdrop of the rugged and emotionally charged rural landscape of Uttar Pradesh, drawing viewers into a world where tradition holds power, identity is constantly challenged, and revenge simmers beneath every quiet moment.
The show explores the life of Bablu Mahto, the son of a Launda dancer, who is forced by circumstances to take on his father’s role.
The show stars Anshumaan Pushkar, Mahvash, Kumud Mishra, Upen Chauhan, Saddam Sophia Hussain, Atul Kusum Sanjay, B. Shantunu, and Amir Khan.
Speaking about the show, Mahvash said, “For me, ‘Satrangi’ has been a completely new and refreshing experience. The gritty tone of the show allowed me to step outside my comfort zone and explore a more intense, dramatic space as a performer. I’ve been loving the process of discovering myself as an actor through this character. Being part of a story that is raw and emotionally challenging has been incredibly rewarding.”
Bablu navigates a life filled with societal stigma, complex relationships, and simmering rage, as the series unfolds a layered narrative of honor, love, and vengeance.
Anshumaan Pushkar said, “Satrangi gave me the chance to step into the shoes of a character from a world and profession – that of a launda dancer – which is often misunderstood and unfairly looked down upon. As an actor, it was incredibly enriching to explore this social reality with honesty and empathy, without judgment or exaggeration. The role challenged me to rely on internal strength, emotional control, and lived-in performances rather than surface-level drama. Being the lead in such a distinct and unconventional story has been a deeply fulfilling experience for me.”
‘Satrangi – Badle Ka Khel’ will be streamed on Hindi ZEE5.
