Prakash Jha's next film titled Pareeksha: The Final Test is all set to get an OTT release on Zee5. The National Award-filmmaker's Pareeksha stars Priyanka Bose, Adil Hussain, Sanjay Suri, and child artiste Shubham Jha and was also screened at the 50th International Film Festival of India (IFFI).

For the uninformed, Pareeksha is a story inspired by true events and is based on a rickshaw puller named Buchchi, who dreams of giving his son a good education. The film makes a sharp comment on our education system. Pareeksha is based on the experiences of former DGP of Bihar, Abhayanand, Prakash had said. 

Talking about the same, he said in a statement, "Shri Abhayanand is an IPS officer and educationist who, while serving as the police chief in Bihar’s Naxal-infested areas, came across kids from those villages who were so bright with their native wisdom that they inspired him to begin coaching them to crack the IIT-JEE - the toughest exam which the young students must clear to be able to join one of the best educational institutes in the country. Their success had a great impact in the crime-infested badlands of Bihar and made a difference."

He further added, "I felt compelled to tell this story and we have found a wonderful streaming partner in Zee5, a platform which will give this subject the reach it deserves." During the coronavirus lockdown, several films have chosen Zee5 as a platform to release their films such as Bamfaad starring Paresh Rawal’s son Aditya Rawal and Shalini Pandey, Ghoomketu starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Anurag Kashyap and Chintu Ka Birthday starring Vinay Pathak and Seema Pahwa.
