“Gauri is Pandora’s box. She’s complicated, unpredictable, and indecipherable. Not only is ‘She’ unlike anyone I’ve played before, but I also don’t know nor have heard of anyone like her!” shares Shefali on her portrayal of the 45-year-old doctor.

The fictional series unravels as a pharma giant uses India’s lax clinical trials to fast track the development of a new drug despite its lethal side effects. As Dr Saira Sabharwal portrayed by Kirti Kulhari lands a dream job under the tutelage of Dr Gauri Nath, a shocking discovery throws their life down the spiral. A 20-year-old migrant worker Mangu sets out to wreak havoc on the medical system.

Touching compelling themes like the value of human life, medical malpractice, class divide and ramifications of a fast-paced medical science, Human brings forth the greed to make money in a gripping tale of power struggles, secretive pasts, trauma and murders.

Directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and Mozez Singh, the Disney+ Hotstar Specials series has been penned by Singh and Ishani Banerjee. Human is ready to take the internet by storm with its release on Disney+ Hotstar coming January 14.
