As per the latest buzz, The show follows a mother whose baby goes missing and her nine-year-long search for answers. As she gets closer to the truth, secrets begin to emerge, raising questions about trust, relationships and how well we really know the people closest to us. Created by Rensil D’Silva and Siddharth P. Malhotra, the series features Parineeti Chopra alongside Jennifer Winget, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Soni Razdan, Anup Soni, Sumeet Vyas and Harleen Sethi.
In further updates, Shaque: Trust No One also marks Parineeti’s debut in the web-series space. At the show's trailer launch event, Parineeti opened up that she was pregnant during the shoot. She further joked that the show was her son Neer's debut as well.
On top of that, HT's review of the show reads, “If you can sense the twist in a seven-episode show by the third episode, either you watch a lot of this genre or the makers are clearly not doing their job right. Here, the second one holds true. In the saturated crime thriller genre, makers face an increasingly difficult challenge of staying ahead of the audience. But as Knives Out films have shown very of late, it is very much possible. Shaque fails in that endeavour. The red herrings are so obvious that you want to laugh at that attempt at misdirection. There is simply no subtlety with every statement, every change in expression, and every pause magnified to an extent that you wonder if the makers underestimate the audience’s comprehension.”
