Prime Video announces new series Andhera
PTI
Last Updated:
New Delhi, Aug 6 (PTI) Streaming platform Prime Video and Excel Entertainment have teamed up for their next supernatural horror series 'Andhera".
The eight-episode drama is written by Gaurav Desai, Raaghav Dar, Chintan Sarda, and Karan Anshuman, and directed by Raaghav Dar.
Starring Priya Bapat, Karanvir Malhotra, Prajakta Koli, and Surveen Chawla, the chilling investigative drama with supernatural elements will be set in Mumbai where a fearless cop and a haunted medical student must take on this living darkness to avert impending doom, according to the official logline.
Nikhil Madhok, director & head of originals at Prime Video said that horror remains an exciting space for the streamer to explore.
'With 'Andhera', we aim to strengthen this further and introduce audiences to a story that is deeply intriguing yet has an emotionally powerful theme. Replete with twists and turns, the gripping drama offers an experience that is intense, immersive, and thought-provoking." Creator Gaurav Desai called the series 'a fulfilling experience".
'From the start, the idea was to create something that wasn't just scary, but stayed with you—something that made you uneasy in a quiet and lasting way. The real challenge was to tap into a kind of fear that feels raw and primal, and bring that to life on screen while staying connected to the emotional core… We had an instinctive and committed cast, and a team that really pushed to make this world feel alive, new, and still very human," he added.
Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Kassim Jagmagia, Vishal Ramchandani, Mohit Shah, and Karan Anshuman under the banner of Excel Entertainment, the series is set to premiere on August 14 across 240 countries.
The series also features Vatsal Sheth, Parvin Dabas, and Pranay Pachauri in pivotal roles. PTI SMR BK BK

'Rohit Sharma itna maarega na tere ko': Yuvraj Singh runs into viral sensation who rose to fame because of India captain
Veteran India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh had an interesting meeting with Rohit Sharma's doppleganger in Mumbai. Yuvraj made an appearance at an event for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025, joined by Indian stars Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, and Jemimah Rodrigues, along with former captain Mithali Raj. Yuvraj Singh caught up with a viral sensation who rose to fame because of Rohit Sharma. At the event, Yuvraj met social media creator Amit Maru, known for his viral videos impersonating Rohit. Having gained widespread attention for his mimicking in recent months, Maru was recognised by Yuvraj. The hero of the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup jokingly told the content creator that Rohit might give him a beating when they meet for all the mimicking he's been doing. "Sharma ji ke bete (Sharma's son). Tere ko dekhega na, itna marega tereko woh, itna marega na tereko woh (If he sees you, he is going to beat you)," Yuvraj said in a video which went viral on social media. Will Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announce retirement from ODIs too? Rohit recently announced his retirement from the Test format ahead of the England tour; meanwhile, a report in Dainik Jagran has emerged that he might also bid adieu to the ODIs too soon. With the Bangladesh series scheduled for August being called off, India's next ODI assignment will be an away series against Australia from October 19-25. The report suggested that both Rohit and Virat Kohli are set to retire after the Australia tour. Meanwhile, a recent report in PTI suggested that the BCCI's current priority is the T20 World Cup. "Obviously, if they (Rohit and Kohli) have something in mind, they would tell the BCCI brass like they did before the England Test tour. But from an Indian team's perspective, the next big assignment is the T20 World Cup in February and preparations before that. The immediate focus will be on sending the best team for the Asia Cup T20 tournament, hoping all players are fit and available," a BCCI source privy to the developments told PTI on conditions of anonymity. Rohit, who travelled to the UK for a break after IPL, returned to Mumbai recently and might start training soon for the ODI series. Kohli recently posted an Instagram story after an indoor nets session, which is an indicator that he has started training.

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 episode 6 release date and time: Will Belly realise Conrad's true feelings?
The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 episode 6 release date and time: TSITP fans, have you caught your breath after last week's rollercoaster? We've officially crossed the halfway mark in the final part, and just when it seemed like Belly had fully stepped into her future with Jeremiah, hints surfaced that her chapter with Conrad might not be as closed as she thought. With an upcoming wedding hanging in the balance and old feelings resurfacing, this love triangle is getting messier than ever. So, when exactly does the next episode drop, and where do we stand after all the drama so far? Let's break it down. What is The Summer I Turned Pretty about? Based on Jenny Han's bestselling trilogy, The Summer I Turned Pretty follows Isabel 'Belly' Conklin (Lola Tung), whose life transforms each year she spends at Cousins Beach with family friends—brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno). What begins as a sweet coming-of-age tale soon unravels into a whirlwind of first loves, heartbreak, and self-discovery, framed by golden beach days and bittersweet summer nights. The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 so far – where things stand Season 3 jumps ahead four years, and everything is different. Belly is in college, still dealing with the loss of Susannah. After Steven's life-threatening accident, she gets engaged to Jeremiah, despite him cheating on her during his little boys' trip to Cabo. Now engaged, Belly has got a wedding to plan, but without her mom, who refuses to come around for the idea, as she thinks both Belly and Jeremiah should finish college first. Meanwhile, Conrad's doing his best to stay out of the picture, focusing on work and therapy. But feelings like that don't just disappear, and episode 5 proves it. Told from his perspective, Last Dance turns what should've been a quick wedding errand into a slow-burn, tension-filled day. Fans finally get the long-awaited 'peach stand' scene from the books, and yes, it's as sweet (and heartbreaking) as you hoped. There's also a flashback that reminds everyone just how deep things run between Belly and Conrad. Still, he's stuck with the promise he made to his mom—to look out for Jeremiah—and that guilt hangs over every move he makes. The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 episode 6 release date and time Episode 6 arrives Wednesday, August 13, 2025 on Prime Video, with weekly drops until the finale on September 17. Here's the zone-wise breakdown: Pacific Time (PT) – 12:00 a.m. (midnight) Eastern Time (ET) – 3:00 a.m. United Kingdom (BST) – 8:00 a.m. Central Europe (CEST) – 9:00 a.m. India (IST) – 12:30 p.m. Japan (JST) – 4:00 p.m. Australia (AEST) – 5:00 p.m. South Africa (SAST) – 9:00 a.m. Season 3, adapted from We'll Always Have Summer, marks the series' final chapter, with Belly set to make her ultimate choice between Conrad, Jeremiah — or herself. Whether you're Team Conrad, Team Jeremiah, or Team Belly should just choose herself, the ending promises to close this sun-soaked love triangle once and for all.

Kay Kay Menon denies acting in Congress vote chori campaign video
New Delhi, Aug 12 (PTI) Actor Kay Kay Menon has distanced himself from a 'vote chori' campaign video shared on the official social media handles of the Congress, saying a clip from his 'Special Ops" promotions was edited and used without his permission. The party on Monday posted a video on its Instagram page and it opens with Menon as Himmat Singh, his character from the spy drama series 'Special Ops". 'Ruko ruko yaar. Scroll karna bandh karo. Agar aap yeh reel dekh rahe ho toh iska matlab kya (Wait. Stop scrolling. If you are watching this, then what does it mean)," the actor says in the video. The rest of the video features a man who urges people to raise their voice and participate in the 'vote chori' campaign of the Congress. The party has launched the campaign against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar by the Election Commission (EC). The caption of the video read, 'Himmat Singh kuch keh rahe hai, jaldi se kar aao… campaign se judne ke liye (Himmat Singh is saying something, go quickly! To join the campaign." Menon posted a comment on the video, clarifying that the clip used in the video is part of a promo that he shot for 'Special Ops". 'Please let it be noted that I have not acted in this ad. A clip from my 'Special Ops' promotions has been edited and used without any permission," the 58-year-old posted. The promo clip was originally shared by streaming service JioHotstar three weeks ago. In the video, the actor asked viewers to watch the new season of the show. The opposition has been protesting in both Houses of Parliament against the SIR, alleging that the EC's exercise is aimed at 'disenfranchising voters" in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections due later this year.
