This web show is the Indian version of the British TV show 'Press' (2018). 'Broken News' is directed by Vinay Vaikul. He had previously produced shows like 'The Test Case', 'Aranyak'. He made a significant change to the original show's dramaturgy that the original show dealt with the print media, while 'Broken News' dealt with the TV media.

In this regard, Sonali says, 'I have no real fear of disappearing. There were many things in the industry, which I did not like.'

I am avoiding anything that raises my blood pressure. 'Broken News' is not just about the media. We don't judge anyone. Yes, this show can prove to be a mirror for the society. The show tells viewers that there is a certain time to take a U-turn and learn something.'
