Ashutosh Rana Transforms into a Journalist for 'Murder in Mahim'
Ashutosh Rana is set to captivate audiences with his portrayal of a journalist in the upcoming series ‘Murder in Mahim’. Directed by Raj Acharya, this series delves into a gripping murder mystery set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s darker corners, also exploring themes of friendship and societal issues.
In discussing his role, Ashutosh Rana revealed, “It’s a murder mystery. The project has various elements such as suspense, drama, emotions, crime and whatnot. In the series, the audience will see me playing the role of a retired journalist, Peter Fernandes. In the show, I followed a journalistic approach to unravel the suspense.”
The series, adapted from Jerry Pinto’s critically acclaimed book, is a production of Tipping Point Films. It also features notable actors Shivani Raghuvanshi and Shivaji Satam in key roles. Ashutosh Rana shared more about the depth of his character, stating, “When it’s about complex roles, I’m the most excited. Peter is one such character. My effort is always to do something different, in a different look, and ‘Murder in Mahim’ gave me that opportunity. Peter’s inner struggle amid the complexities of the murder investigation allowed me to add depth to the character. It is not just a profound murder mystery; it’s layered with many significant plots that mirror the social stigmas around caste, gender, and sexuality with rare sensitivity. That’s the beauty of this show.”
