With both eyeing the crown to rule over the city, the show promises to be one that will leave the viewer hooked to their screen right from the first frame to the last.
Bonded by brotherhood, will we see the good guy turn bad or the bad guy turn good. We certainly are filled with a lot of questions.

Speaking on the trailer, actor Angad Bedi, comments, "I have always been very intrigued by stories of encounter specialist, the gangsters, and the underworld. Even while I was growing up I used to watch a lot of action films and used to love the drama behind it and when I heard the story of Mum Bhai about how this encounter specialist Bhaskar Shetty started off and what he became, I really connected with that journey. This was something I have never done before and also these kinds of characters are not really written that much. This is a very larger than life character and especially to show its growth, I think it's just fascinated me. The whole team of Mum Bhai is looking forward to making it the biggest show ever on OTT and I am sure Ekta Kapoor will leave no stone unturned."
Sharing his thoughts about the trailer, Sikandar Kher said, "This is signature Balaji.. the trailer is kadak! Akshay has made a really good script even better. The good thing about the show is that it's fast-paced and quick just like the characters that flip in an instant. As an actor, I've had a truly wonderful time working with Angad. He's very secure and that always helps any scene. We actors feed off each other. Life was very different in the '80s and '90s and this show is going to give you a glimpse into that world."
All set to stream on ALTBalaji and ZEE5 Club from 6th November, Mum Bhai is a crime drama that will dive into the Mumbai underworld. The narrative revolves around the friendship between a cop and a criminal, set in the milieu of Mumbai's underbelly from the late eighties to early 2000.
