The show also stars Shalini Pandey and Swanand Kirkire. It follows Mariam, a young poetess in a sleepy town, who seeks freedom through uploading her poetry online with help from misfits: a brass band singer and DJ.
Zahan's career started at the Prithvi Theatre, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Shashi Kapoor. He began his career by assisting theatre director Sunil Shanbag in a workshop for children. He even hosted performances for newcomers.
In 2019, he made his theatre debut in Makarand Deshpande's play Pitaji Please at Prithvi Theatre. He debuted in the film industry with the film Faraaz, directed by Hansal Mehta, in 2022. The film depicts the tragedy of the July 2016 Dhaka attack.
After his film debut, Zahan returned to the theatre in June 2023 with the play Siachen, written by Aditya Rawal and directed by Makarand Deshpande, portraying the survival story of Indian soldiers stuck on the Siachen Glacier.
He was also seen in Black Warrant, based on the 2019 non-fiction book Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer by Sunil Gupta and Sunetra Choudhury, about Gupta's time as a jailer at Tihar Prisons. The first season covers Gupta's experiences until 1984, and features real-life criminals, including Charles Sobhraj and Ranga-Billa.
