To achieve instant fame and fortune, how far would you go to reinvent your realities? Bringing a first-of-its-kind social thriller to India, Disney+ Hotstar launched the trailer of Hotstar Specials’ ESCAYPE LIVE which chronicles the realities of social media in today’s time.

Escaype Live is a fictitious narrative written by Jaya Mishra and Siddharth Kumar Tewary that is likely to appear realistic and real to the reader. 

The plot follows a group of content producers who have taken diverse routes but have one ambition in common: to create viral material in order to win a life-changing tournament hosted by Escaype Live, the country's trendiest new app.

Siddharth, who portrays the series' lead, said "What pulled me to ESCAYPE LIVE was the storyline and my character. It piqued my interest since it dealt with social media, and while people have the ability to do as they choose, sometimes anonymously and sometimes not, it always raises the ethical dilemma of what is good and what is wrong. That, in my opinion, is what makes the programme explosive while yet being fascinating."

The thrilling saga has been shot across multiple unique locations across India, including Benaras, Bangalore, Delhi, Jaisalmer, Mumbai, and Gujarat, to bring cultural relevance and show how social media is affecting people, even at remote places.
