Sobhita added that playing a character rooted in the by-lanes of Hyderabad and other Telugu localities and coming from a cultural background like hers made the integration between the character and her own expression seamless and utterly enjoyable.

She shared, "Grateful for this wonderful experience and our exceptional cast and crew - everyone brought their heart to the set every single day. Being part of a Prime Original project is special in many ways."

Looking forward for the audiences to see a different side of me as Sandhya when the movie premieres exclusively on Prime Video on January 23," added Sobhita.

Set in Hyderabad, the show will share the tale of Sandhya, a true crime podcaster, who ends up coming face-to-face with some of the most brutal and darkest secrets of the city in her quest for truth.

It's refreshing to see actors talk about the craft and the character's background with such depth. The description of Sandhya as a "front-footed young woman" sounds exactly like the kind of role Indian OTT needs more of. Hope the story does justice to the setup.

The cast looks solid with Viswadev and others. Suresh Productions backing it is a good sign for quality. Hope they capture the rawness of Hyderabad's by-lanes authentically and not just as a backdrop. Fingers crossed!

As someone who loved the true crime podcast angle, this is a fantastic concept for a series. The Indian OTT space is really evolving. Sobhita's journey does sound inspiring. More power to women-led thrillers!

Respectfully, I hope the "darkest secrets of the city" narrative doesn't just rely on stereotypes about Hyderabad. We need nuanced storytelling, not just sensationalism. That said, the team seems talented and I wish them the best.
