Dhruv Tripathi's Debut: 'Reporting Live' Uncovers Sand Mining Scandal

Dhruv Tripathi is set to make his feature directorial debut with Reporting Live, an investigative thriller scheduled for release on Netflix on October 9, 2026. The film stars Parineeti Chopra and Deven Bhojani and delves into the high-stakes world of journalism.

Reporting Live follows an ambitious young reporter and her cameraman as their investigation into a seemingly straightforward story uncovers a dangerous illegal sand mining operation. This pursuit of truth places them in direct conflict with powerful entities determined to suppress the story.

Tripathi, a graduate of the London Film School, has spent seven years developing this project with co-writer Mihir Jadhav. The film also features an ensemble cast including Adil Hussain, Amol Palekar, and Shekhar Suman, exploring the risks faced by journalists and individuals caught in circumstances beyond their control.
