Ashutosh Rana and Vijay Raaz are set to star in the new investigative drama series, “Murder in Mahim.” Directed by Raj Acharya and featuring Shivani Raghuvanshi and Shivaji Satam, the show delves into a gripping murder mystery set against the bustling backdrop of Mumbai.
Adapted from Jerry Pinto’s critically acclaimed book, the series weaves a tale of murder that tests the boundaries of friendship and exposes the city’s darker underbelly.
ioCinema recently released the teaser, offering audiences a glimpse into the intense narrative and complex characters. The story revolves around Peter, portrayed by Ashutosh Rana, who finds himself deeply involved in a murder investigation at Mahim station. The plot thickens as Peter’s son, Sunil, becomes entangled as a suspect, bringing old grievances and hidden feelings to the surface between Peter and his long-lost friend, Jende, played by Vijay Raaz.
Ashutosh Rana, known for his portrayal of intricate characters, shares his enthusiasm about his role: “Playing Peter was a fascinating challenge. This character allowed me to explore new territories in acting, especially within such a complex narrative that also tackles social issues like caste, gender, and sexuality with nuanced sensitivity. It’s more than a murder mystery; it’s a reflective piece on societal stigmas.”
Vijay Raaz adds depth to the series with his portrayal of Jende, stating, “Jende is a character of many layers. It was exhilarating to bring out his humane side during the investigation, while also portraying his more aggressive side within his family dynamics. ‘Murder in Mahim’ offered a unique opportunity to explore such a diverse emotional range.”
“Murder in Mahim” is set to premiere on May 10 on OTT platforms, promising a compelling mix of mystery, drama, and emotional turmoil.
