Shooting Mukesh Jasoos amid lockdown was a tricky experience: Heena D’Souza

Filled with unusual characters and funny incidents, director Heena D’Souza’s series Mukesh Jasoos promises to be good fun. The series has Rahul Bagga in the lead and its first episode was released on Disney+ Hotstar on May 7.

Mukesh Jasoos is part of the OTT platform’s Quix series that includes shows of small duration. The series follows Mukesh Jha, a fraud advocate, whose wife leaves for his cousin and now wants to become a detective.

Talking about the series, its writer and director Heena says, “What drew me to Mukesh Jasoos was its plot, the diversity of characters, and its relevance. The series dwells in a space, not much explored on the web, and thus is unique in its approach.”

“I am thankful to my cast - a fine mix of age and experience for delivering such stupendous performances and making filming look so easy,” says the director.

On the challenges she faced during its making, Heena says, “Shooting amidst lockdown was a tricky experience, yet we overcame all challenges seamlessly. When the energy on set is good, the work automatically becomes easy and enjoyable.”

Meanwhile, Rahul, who plays Mukesh in the show, said, “It has an unconventionally quirky story, narrated through creative storytelling that will make you laugh and keep you hooked.”
