Sonakshi Sinha is stepping up in khaki to solve crime and bring a serial killer to justice with her debut web series 'Dahaad'.
On Wednesday, the makers dropped the first teaser of the upcoming web series that sees Sonakshi as a feisty cop who's on the hot pursuit of a killer on the loose who is responsible for the murders of 27 women in Rajasthan.
Actor Vijay Varma of 'Gully Boy' fame also makes an appearance in the teaser towards the end, hinting as his possible role as the bad guy.
Talking about the show, creator, director, and co-producer Reema Kagti said in a statement, "Dahaad has been a truly rewarding experience. This series is extremely special for all of us and has been brought to life masterfully by Sonakshi, Vijay, Gulshan and Soham. The response that we received for the series at Berlinale 2023 was very promising and we are looking forward to bringing this series to our audiences across the globe".
The eight-part crime drama starts when a series of women are mysteriously found dead in public bathrooms, Sub-Inspector Anjali Bhaati (played by Sinha) is tasked with the investigation. At first, the deaths appear to be clear-cut suicides but as the cases unravel, Anjali 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.
Ritesh Sidhwani, Co-Producer, Excel Entertainment, said, "Dahaad's thrilling storyline and incredible performances are the true standouts of the crime drama. The world that Reema and Zoya had envisioned for this story, truly required grit and coherence; and they have delivered that in spades."
