When it comes to gritty, edge-of-your-seat thrillers, ZEE5 Global is stepping up its game with the upcoming series Murshid. This original series promises to dive deep into the heart of Mumbai’s underworld, led by the indomitable Kay Kay Menon, who returns as the “Bombay ka Sultan” after a 20-year hiatus. The anticipation is real, and if the trailer is anything to go by, this is one show you don’t want to miss.
The Gritty World of Murshid
ZEE5 Global’s Murshid isn’t just your typical gangster saga; it’s a rollercoaster of emotions, betrayal, and high-octane action. Kay Kay Menon stars as Murshid Pathan, a former mafia don who’s pulled back into the criminal underworld he thought he’d left behind. But this time, the stakes are higher—family, legacy, and survival. The series also stars Zakir Hussain as the ambitious Farid, who seems hell-bent on eclipsing Murshid’s legacy, and Tanuj Virwani as Inspector Kumar Pratap Rana, the adopted son of Murshid, adding layers of emotional complexity to the tale.
Why Murshid Should Be on Your Watchlist

The series showcases the raw and dark side of Mumbai, interweaving political conspiracies with personal vendettas. The trailer teases intense confrontations and heart-stopping action sequences that set the tone for what could be one of ZEE5 Global’s most riveting dramas yet.
Kay Kay Menon himself has expressed excitement about the role, noting that Murshid is not just a story about crime but a powerful tale of family bonds and how far a man will go to protect his loved ones. Menon’s portrayal of a former don turned philanthropist, forced back into his old life, promises to be both complex and captivating.
