Parineeti Chopra is set to headline an upcoming Netflix mystery thriller series, marking her debut in the web series domain. This project follows her collaboration with the streaming giant on the film “Chamkila,” directed by Imtiaz Ali, which is slated for release on April 12, 2024.
The yet-to-be-titled series boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anup Soni, Jennifer Winget, Chaitannya Choudhry, Sumeet Vyas, Soni Razdan, and Harleen Sethi. Rensil D’Silva, known for his work in the thriller genre, will direct the series, with Siddharth P Malhotra serving as the producer. Both D’Silva and Malhotra are also credited as creators of the show.
Expressing their enthusiasm, D’Silva and Malhotra stated, “Working with Netflix has allowed us the creative freedom to push boundaries and bring a unique narrative to life.” They further added, “With a cast as talented as this and Parineeti choosing to foray into series with our production, we are excited for what lies ahead and cannot wait for the world to watch the mystery unfold.”
Tanya Bami, series head of Netflix India, shared her excitement about the project, describing it as a “gripping thriller that unravels secrets, emotions, and the depths of human nature with unmatched intensity.” She highlighted the collaboration with D’Silva and Malhotra, as well as the ensemble cast, noting, “We are delighted to welcome Parineeti Chopra back to Netflix following her stellar performance in ‘Chamkila,’ now in her first-ever series, and we’re equally excited to have Jennifer Winget join us.”
