Mandala Murders Trailer Out: Dive Into Mythological Crime-Thriller Ahead Of Its Release
Set against the backdrop of an eerie town called Charandaspur, the series will show detectives Rea Thomas (Played by Vaani Kapoor) and Vikram Singh (Played by Vaibhav Raj Gupta) attempting to resolve a series of ritualistic killings linked to a centuries-old secret society.
Aside from Vaani and Vaibhav, "Mandala Murders" will also see Shriya Pilgaonkar, Siddhanth Kapoor, Rahul Bagga, Raghubir Yadav, and Monica Choudhary in key roles.
Talking about "Mandala Murders", Gopi Puthran, creator and director said, 'From the start, our goal with Mandala Murders was to create a world that feels unknown yet grounded — where every truth has layers and every answer leads to more questions. Crafting the tension, weaving in symbolism, and watching this brilliant cast bring it to life has been incredibly rewarding. Partnering with Netflix gave us the scale and vision to bring this layered story to life.'
Director Manan Rawat added, 'Every episode adds another piece to the puzzle - challenging everything you think you know. Vaani, Vaibhav, and Surveen bring a rare blend of raw emotion and intensity with their performances. With Netflix we were able to craft a world that's as visually compelling as it is emotionally charged — where every frame deepens the suspense, and every character leaves an impact.'
Tanya Bami, Series Head at Netflix shared, 'Mandala Murders, our next offering is very exciting series that blends the world of crime and mythology, where every layer reveals something more mysterious and eerie. This compelling mystery unravels with every episode, where each murder or killing takes the audience a step deeper into the mandala! We absolutely love the concept and the mythology that Gopi Puthran and Manan Rawat have created, not only is it intriguing but also distinctly rooted in our storytelling culture. With Yash Raj Films, our longstanding creative partners backing this vision, and a standout cast led by Vaani Kapoor, Vaibhav Raj Gupta, Surveen Chawla, and Shriya Pilgaonkar, this is a story that grips you from the get-go."
"Mandala Murders" will premiere on Netflix on July 25.

Nearly three years after the first season came out, Netflix released Part 1 of ' Wednesday Season 2 ' on August 6, bringing back the chaotic characters and unsolved mysteries. While fans had been highly anticipating Wednesday's return to the academy after the summer break, the addition of pop sensation Lady Gaga only added to the buzz. Legendary Nevermore teacher Netflix stated that the actor-singer will join the second season as Rosaline Rotwood - a "legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday"; however, Jenna Ortega has something else to say. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Health Insurance for Senior Citizen Living in India Policybazaar Get Quote Undo In a conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Ortega was asked about the singer's appearance as a teacher on the Netflix show. "She's not a teacher. That's your little clue. Whatever you've heard, it's wrong," Ortega playfully said. The actress also opened up on her experience of working with Lady Gaga and said, "One of the kindest, most grounded people I've ever had the pleasure to work with, such a powerhouse." Catherine Zeta-Jones, known for famously essaying the mother, Morticia Addams, was also present at the interview. "She was an addition that was made in heaven. We'd say hell, which is a good thing. I actually feel that she is probably related somehow genetically to the Addams Family," the actress said about Gaga's casting. Luis Guzman, who plays Wednesday's father, Gomez Addams, further joked, "As Gomez, Addams' lawyer, I'm preparing the papers to officially adopt her." As the 'Die With A Smile' singer did not appear in the first half, it is likely that Gaga's character has been stored in for Part 2, which will be premiered on September 3, 2025. Part 1 of 'Wednesday Season 2' is currently streaming on Netflix, featuring the first four episodes.

Gandhi is like our The Crown: producer Sameer Nair
Mumbai, Aug 10 (PTI) 'Gandhi", the upcoming series directed by Hansal Mehta, will follow India's struggle for independence while providing an in-depth portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi at different stages in his life, says producer Sameer Nair, comparing the show's narrative depth to the acclaimed international series 'The Crown". Starring Pratik Gandhi in the titular role, the series promises an exploration of Gandhi's life and the diverse characters who shaped India's fight for freedom. Nair, the managing director of Applause Entertainment, said while Gandhi is a globally recognised figure, the show seeks to present a 'deeply personal story" that goes beyond his iconic status. 'When (Richard) Attenborough made 'Gandhi' he had only two and a half hours to make it and he ended up making a story about Gandhi via a narrow lens. What we are hoping to do with this is to also tell the story of the Indian independence and there are so many other characters involved. Nair said they are planning to make the show into three seasons. 'It's not just Gandhi, it's also about people who are with him, who were against him, the British and the whole situation. So, these three seasons are more like our 'The Crown' (Netflix's hit show on the British royal family)," Nair told PTI in an interview. Mehta has enjoyed great success in the streaming space with critically-acclaimed shows such as 'Scam" and 'Scoop" and Nair hopes 'Gandhi" would turn out to be a show that the whole world watches. 'Gandhi" will have its world premiere at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September. The banner is known for shows such as Vikramaditya Motwane's 'Black Warrant", Nagesh Kukunoor's 'The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination", Hansal Mehta's 'Scam 1992", and Pankaj Tripathi-starrer 'Criminal Justice" among others. 'Gandhi" is based on renowned historian and author Ramachandra Guha's books — 'Gandhi Before India" and 'Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World". The show will also feature Pratik Gandhi's wife Bhamini Oza as Kasturba Gandhi and 'Harry Potter" star Tom Felton as Josiah Oldfield Nair informed that through three seasons they hope to track Gandhi's journey from 1888 through 1947. The first season is dedicated to the years 1888 to 1915, while subsequent seasons will cover 1915 to 1932 and finally, 1932 to 1947, he said. 'Gandhi is going to be a big one and now it's ready. Hansal is there, Pratik is playing the role, and AR Rahman is doing the music. So, it's all come together quite well. Hopefully, that should be ready by the end of August. 'Then we'll take it out there and see how to put it out. But that will be a big one. Season one is about the younger Gandhi that you don't know about, it's a young adult story, we call season one 'Mohan to Mahatma'." Nair said the first season is about an 18-year-old who goes to London to study law. 'So, it's not the Mahatma you see on the currency note or the person that we all know about. It's a different guy and how he becomes that (Mahatma). So, it's very fascinating," Nair added. Nair said they are hoping to release the first season of the show in India by December end. 'It is quite an expensive project. It's not easy to do this. We've taken some time writing it because you are writing about extremely famous and large public figures and it needs to be done (right). 'We tell human stories. We take the camera very close to the people and we try to tell human stories. So it's not about the great, it's about the people, and how they became great," he said, adding that they haven't shot for the subsequent seasons of 'Gandhi" yet.
