Zakir Hussain plays a cynical and corrupt minister who prepares a new anti-counterfeiting task force under his supervision. Kay Kay Menon, as a kingpin in the world of counterfeiting, also had a pivotal role in the web series. Both the actors portraying the negative characters did justice to their respective roles.

The web series has an ensemble star cast with splendid performances worth watching.
