“The script is so delicious, the words are so much fun to say and perform, and making sure that we all, as a team, make the most out of Mike Bartlett’s words and honour them — that was important to all of us. Also getting a chance to do a comic role, that’s always something that I enjoy,” she added.

“Press” tells story of two media companies conflicting about whether news is entertainment or the path to seek out truth. It will air in India on Zee Cafe from September 17.
