Zee News has launched a ‘first-of-its-kind’ programme - Don, based on true stories from the underworld. Anchored by actor Irfan Khan, the programme will showcase the people involved and the modus operandi in running a parallel world that exists and flourishes out of Mumbai.

The show will broadcast some rare footage and photographs and will also give an insight into the journey of some ordinary people who made it ‘big’ in the underworld business. It will delve into the innermost secrets of the dreaded dons - about how they planned and executed some of the biggest crimes in history. These stories will also take a perspective from their sharp shooters who used to protect them, the drivers who used to listen to the Don's most intimate conversations, and their bodyguards who were their shadow at all times. In addition, it will show some important confessions by senior police officials, who faced the wrath of these Dons but finally triumphed by driving them out of their dens.

“There is a world of difference between a real life Don and a reel life Don. We are putting the history of the underworld in a proper perspective,” said Harish Doraiswamy, CEO, Zee News Ltd, on the new show.

Tune into Zee News at 9:30pm on Friday.
