Yash Raj Films (YRF) has
ambitions to produce some of the best content on digital that India has ever
seen. Under the banner YRF Entertainment, the company announces its second OTT
show, a gritty crime thriller titled Mandala Murders! Created & directed by
Gopi Puthran of Mardaani 2 fame, the edge of the seat entertainer will star
Vaani Kapoor as the lead, with Vaibhav Raj Gupta (of the hugely acclaimed show
Gullak fame) co-starring. He has been cast as the leading man for the first
time after his brilliant performance in Gullak! Manan Rawat, who has previously
worked as an Associate Director on many YRF films, will be the co-director of the
series.
Gopi will shoot Mandala
Murders for about a month in Uttar Pradesh starting tomorrow, before heading to
Delhi & then Mumbai to finish the filming process. In UP, the team will
shoot in the picturesque Prayagraj, Lucknow & Varanasi. The big budget show
will thus boast of a huge canvass and a grand scale with it being shot across 5
different cities of India!
Vaani Kapoor, who won
hearts for her brilliant and sensitive performance as a transgender-girl in
Abhishek Kapoor’s Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, is again set to shine in this show
which marks her foray into OTT. Surveen Chawla and Jameel Khan (again of Gullak
fame) have also been cast in prominent roles in Mandala Murders.
This multi-season show is
a part of YRF’s ambitious OTT slate that already comprises the much-awaited The
Railway Men based on the deadly 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy. This series features R
Madhavan, Kay Kay Menon, Divyendu and Babil Khan in the lead roles and is a
tribute to the brave railway workers who saved scores of lives at this
ill-fated night of devastation and horror.
