New Delhi: The trailer of the upcoming crime-drama series 'Dahaad' featuring Sonakshi Sinha, Vijay Varma, Gulshan Devaiah, and Sohum Shah, was released on Wednesday. The series is created by Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar, and is directed by Kagti along with Ruchika Oberoi.
Dahaad’s riveting trailer unveils the fierce tension at the local police station where Anjali Bhaati, played by Sonakshi Sinha, and her colleagues are on the lookout for an unsuspecting serial killer on the loose. What begins as a series of mysterious disappearances sets off an investigative hunt as they race against time, piecing together clues before another innocent woman loses her life.
Sonakshi Sinha, who is making her digital debut with the series, said her character differs from anything she has ever played.
“Dahaad, for me, is an extremely special project. It not only marks my streaming debut, it is also the first ever Indian series to be presented at the 2023 Berlinale Film Festival. Anjali Bhaati is different from any other character I’ve played before. Reema and Zoya have created a character that is not just unafraid, but has the potential to become a role model for the generation. Working with this cast and crew has been incredible and I am excited to be bringing this series to audiences across the world with Prime Video,” she said.
Vijay Varma said about the series, “Dahaad is a gritty-and-gripping shot of adrenaline in a way that is nothing short of special. It is also the most challenging-yet-rewarding character I have played. Anand is a simple teacher, a family man who spends his weekends teaching underprivileged kids. But there is more to him than meets the eye; that is where the mystery lies! Reema and Zoya are some of the finest filmmakers of our time, and with Dahaad, they’ve taken it a notch higher. I’m thrilled to be associated with this series and to reunite with Excel Entertainment, Tiger Baby and Prime Video. After seeing the positive response at Berlinale, I’m looking forward to how viewers react to it, both India and overseas”
'Dahaad' is an eight-part crime drama that follows sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati and her colleagues in a small-town police station. It all starts when a series of women are mysteriously found dead in public bathrooms, and sub-inspector Bhaati is tasked with the investigation. At first, the deaths appear to be clear-cut suicides, but as the cases unravel, Bhaati begins to suspect that a serial killer is on the loose. What follows is a riveting game of cat and mouse between a seasoned criminal and an underdog cop, as she pieces together evidence before another innocent woman loses her life.
The series will drop on Prime Video on May 12.
