At
the
time
of
going
to
press,
the
series
still
held
that
position.
At
a
recent
press
meet,
downplaying
the
performance
of
the
show,
the
lead
Tanya
Maniktala
and
the
Creator
Arindam
Mitra
decided
to
focus
on
both,
the
character
and
the
World
that
they
built
for
the
audiences.
They
spoke
about
the
genesis
of
the
idea
for
this
project,
their
thoughts
behind
making
this
novel
series
and
the
uniquely
real
character
of
Meenakshi
Iyer.
Tanya
Maniktala,
who
plays
the
bold
and
energetic
character
of
Meena,
expressed
her
delight
at
the
reception
the
show
has
garnered.
She
also
spoke
about
how
playing
Meena
was
both,
enjoyable,
challenging
and
how
it
pushed
her
to
explore
new
facets
of
her
acting
prowess.
Creator
Arindam
Mitra
shed
light
on
working
on
a
story
of
a
private
detective
and
a
deadly
virus,
long
before
the
World
was
hit
by
the
pandemic.
He
stressed
on
the
flawed
nature
of
Meenakshi's
character
while
explaining
how
that
made
her
more
relatable
and
real.
The
show's
remarkable
performances
and
engaging
storyline
have
certainly
generated
a
buzz,
making
'PI
Meena'
a
standout
series
in
the
digital
space.
With
Tanya
Maniktala's
remarkable
portrayal
of
Meena,
Arindam
Mitra's
vision
and
an
innovative
plot
built
around
an
exciting
young
detective
in
a
whodunnit,
PI
Meena
serves
as
a
compelling
watch.
