Vishal Jethwa loved working with both Vipul Amrutlal Shah and Mozez Singh as directors and learned a lot from both of them. Vishal Jethwa shares his shooting experience with both of them in his own words, “After working with Gopi Sir on Mardani 2, I thought there's no other cool director but when I worked with Vipul Sir, I realised he is so easy to work with and not only be Vipul but also Mozez Sir. I just love the combination of these two directors because wherever practicality is needed, Vipul Sir is there and wherever emotionality is needed Mozez sir is there. That's why I loved the bifurcation as the initial two to three episodes of Human are directed by Vipul sir, and then Mozez Sir directed the other 5 episodes of Human. So, I loved this combination, where I got to work with such superior directors in just one show.”

A pharma giant is using India’s lax clinical trial rules to fast track the development of a new drug, despite lethal side effects. Meanwhile, 35-year-old Dr. Saira Sabharwal lands a dream job in Bhopal’s premier hospital under the mentorship of the iconic 45-year-old Dr. Gauri Nath. Saira grows under Gauri’s tutelage and as the two women start to form a deep bond over their commitment to the medical cause. However, a shocking discovery throws their life into chaos as their story becomes intertwined with that of a young migrant worker, Mangu (20 years), who is all set to wreak havoc on the medical system.

The fictional series enunciates the collateral damage due to fast-tracked drug trials for financial gains in a gripping tale that involves innocent lives lost to greed. 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 compelling tale of power struggles, secretive pasts, trauma and murders.

Starring actors Shefali Shah and Kirti Kulhari, Human will be available on Disney+ Hotstar from 14th January 2022 onwards.
