, Ritwik plays Sanket with shrewd crookedness. Director Ritesh's greatest accomplishment here is taking the audience inside the mind of Sanket through a voiceover that explains how he perceives every situation.

As per them, the writers have done an excellent job, especially with Sanket's character. They believe that the callous, defiant, and remorseless manner, in which his character has been drafted, makes The Whistleblower very fine.
