Set around the theme of guilt, remorse, and revenge, the story unfolds through two timelines, in 2022 and 2007, as secrets and chilling events plague the students and staff of a prestigious boarding school. What starts as a nostalgic reunion turns sinister when Adhiraj Jaisingh (Ishwak Singh) encounters Vedant Malik (Shrenik Arora), a troubled 10-year-old student. As the past and present collide, a dark secret threatens to emerge, linking Adhiraj to Vedant.  

Aparna Purohit, head of India originals, Prime Video, said she is confident that 'Adhura' will engage, provoke and enthrall its subscribers. 

“Adhura is a complex, layered and an immersive world where once-familiar corridors and hallways, become a labyrinth of fear and uncertainity. Supernatural horror is an extremely popular genre not just in India but across the world so we are extremely excited to partner with Nikkhil Advani once again, in a genre that neither Emmay Entertainment nor Prime Video has attempted before. As our first hindi Original horror series, I am certain that Adhura  will engage, provoke and enthrall our audiences,” she said. 

Nikhil Advani said he is excited to partner with Prime Video after his 2021 medical drama "Mumbai Diaries 26/11". 

“With Adhura, we are exploring the horror, supernatural genre for the first time and are delighted to venture into this space with Prime Video. We are glad to collaborate with them once again after the immense success of Mumbai Diaries. With each episode, the viewers will be immersed in the intricacies of the characters' lives, witnessing their stories unfold in unexpected ways. This series explores the depths of human emotions, showcasing the complexity of relationships. With every twist and turn, it will captivate and leave the viewers yearning for more. It was wonderful working with the ensemble cast, especially Shrenik Arora, who, I am sure will come out as a surprise package,” he said. 

Adhura also stars Rijul Ray, Sahil Salathia, Aru Krishansh Vera, KC Shankar and Jaimini Pathak.
