Prime Video has set June 12 as the global premiere date for “Raakh,” the Hindi-language investigative thriller starring Ali Fazal (“Mirzapur”), Sonali Bendre (“The Broken News”), and Aamir Bashir (“Tiger 3”).
The series centers on an investigating officer hunting for two teenagers who have disappeared, an event that has fractured their family and put an entire city on edge. As he pushes deeper into the case, the officer is drawn into a world of violence and human depravity.
Directed and executive produced by Prosit Roy (“Paatal Lok”), “Raakh” is created, written, and co-directed by Anusha Nandakumar (“Singham Again”) and Sandeep Saket (“Indian Police Force”), with dialogues by Ayush Trivedi (“Indian Police Force”). The series is produced by Deepak Dhar, Rishi Negi, Mrinalini Jain, and Shyam Rathi under the banner of Endemol Shine India, in association with BhaDiPa.
Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals at Prime Video India, said: “Prosit Roy, Anusha Nandakumar, and Sandeep Saket have built a narrative that is as devastating as it is compelling. Ali Fazal delivers a performance of extraordinary depth as an officer consumed by a case that threatens to unravel everything he believes in, while Sonali Bendre and Aamir Bashir bring a layered intensity that elevates every frame. This is the kind of story that stays with you long after the screen goes dark.”
Roy added: “‘Raakh’ has been one of the most creatively fulfilling and emotionally intense projects I have worked on, because at its heart, it goes far beyond being a crime thriller. What excited me most about ‘Raakh’ was the opportunity to merge the thrill of a gripping manhunt with an unflinching exploration of trauma and the darker impulses of human nature. Anusha and Sandeep have created a world that is meticulously researched, intricately layered, and rich with moral ambiguity. Ali brings a quiet ferocity that anchors the entire narrative, while Sonali and Aamir inhabit their characters with an intensity that makes every moment feel real.”
Prosit Roy and Sandeep Saket are represented by Tulsea.
