New Delhi: The trailer for the upcoming streaming series 'Killer Soup' was released on Wednesday and it looks like a promising cross-genre show. It centers on dream chef Swathi Shetty, who wants everyone to taste her paya soup. The story takes place in the made-up town of Mainjur. She and her partner end up in hot water after an accident that triggers a string of disasters and hurried cover-ups.
Before the events in the trailer begin, Manoj Bajpayee's character is shown in the trailer singing "Tu Hi Re" while suffering from wounds. Konkona's character Swathi devises a scheme to kill her spouse and replace him with her similar looking lover.
Taking to Instagram, the OTT platform Netflix shared the video. “Umesh and Swathi are stirring up the most bizarre crime thriller of the year- and the secrets are about to boil over! KILLER SOUP TRAILER OUT NOW!!,” the caption read.
Talking about the series, Manoj Bajpayee said, “For the first time in my career, I will be playing a double role, both starkly different from each other. I trusted Abhishek Chaubey's directorial prowess, and a stellar cast that breathed life into characters to create a surreal pot-boiler unlike any other stemming from an accidental crime. At its heart, ‘Killer Soup’ is a crime thriller that blends multiple genres, making it a delicious serving that everyone can enjoy.”
Konkana Sen Sharma said, “Stepping into Swathi Shetty's shoes was a unique experience for me as the character has depth, darkness and packs a lot of punch. Working on the series with Abhishek Chaubey and a talented set of actors was a delight. The trailer offers a glimpse into the quirky world we’ve created set against the background of a sleepy town. With hints of suspense peppered through the series, it really makes you wonder, ‘Will she or won’t she get caught and will the soup boil over?’ I eagerly await the audience’s reaction when they watch ‘Killer Soup’.”
Manoj Bajpayee, Konkona Sensharma, Nasser, Sayaji Shinde, Lal, Anbuthasan, Anula Navlekar, and Kani Kusruti play key roles in the Abhishek Chaubey-directed series. Netflix is going to release 'Killer Soup', which is produced by Honey Trehan and Chetana Kowshik, on January 11, 2024.
