Mumbai, March 19
The first look from Ali Fazal and Sonali Bendre's upcoming web series 'Raakh' was unveiled on Thursday.
Sonali and Ali, along with the creators of the show, released the first look during the Prime Video 2026 Release slate in Mumbai.
Speaking at the event, Ali shared how fascinating he found portraying a police officer for the first time.
"I have never played a cop before this...It's a very interesting timeline to be a part of...It feels fresh and relatively new," he said.
Sonali also expressed her excitement about the show.
"It's lovely to be here... when writers Anusha and Sandeep narrated the story to me, I was completely intrigued. Even if I had to just stand in the background, I would have said yes," she shared.
Official synopsis of the show reads," When two teenagers vanish, a close-knit family is shattered and the city is left on edge. Determined to uncover the truth, a relentless officer leads a nationwide manhunt that pulls him deep into a world of violence and human depravity."
Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket have co-written it and co-directed it. Aamir Bashir, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, and Rakesh Bedi are also a part of 'Raakh'.

Another crime thriller? Feels like OTT is saturated with these. Hope the writing by Anusha and Sandeep is strong and it's not just another predictable missing person story. The cast is good though.
Seeing Dibyendu Bhattacharya's name in the cast is a guarantee of quality. That man elevates every scene he's in. The synopsis sounds dark and gripping. Prime Video is investing in good content.
The premise of a shattered family hits close to home. These stories are so important. Glad to see Sonali back, and Ali is a fantastic actor. Hope it handles the sensitive topic with care and not just for thrills.
Finally, Ali Fazal in a proper mainstream web series lead! He was brilliant in Mirzapur. Pairing him with veterans like Aamir Bashir and Rakesh Bedi is a masterstroke. 2026 is too far away, yaar! 😅
