A new thriller-crime series, “Mandala Murders,” is about to be released on Netflix. The series is all about ritualistic killings in a town named Charandaspur, and the investigation is being conducted by detectives played by Vaani Kapoor and Vaibhav Raj Gupta.
These killings are related to a centuries-old secret society and a conspiracy that interests ancient symbolism in mandalas.
With the release of the trailer, people are curious to know whether the film is related to some real-life incidents or just a fictional crime series. It is to be reported that this coming Netflix series is a fictional crime thriller and not a documentary on real life. It develops the theme of myth, destiny, and conspiracy, where detectives strive to understand the relation between killings and the symbolism of mandalas.
It is a selected fiction story, a crime-thriller with supernatural elements.
The film is directed by Manan Rawat and Gopi Puthran. Mandala Murders features Vaani Kapoor, along with Vaibhav Raj Gupta, Surveen Chawla, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Siddhanth Kapoor, Raghubir Yadav, Rahul Bagga, and Monica Choudhary.
Recently, Vaani Kapoor opened up about her upcoming series, Mandala Murders, and also highlighted the challenges she faced while shooting for this character.
While having a conversation with ANI, she was quoted as saying, “This story is very compelling. Every character has been written very intricately with fine detailing. The concept is new and layered. While the films provide a chance to establish the character arc within a few hours, the OTT show will feature constant character development in every episode. In every episode, audiences can see the nuances and different shades of different characters.”
She furthermore outlined her preps and mentioned, “There is action. I had to undergo training. For my character, Riya, I had to work on my body language, thought process, and dilemmas. Me, Gopi sir, and Manan - we all worked very hard on how to mold the character. The process was interesting, but there were also hiccups to maintain the interest level of the audience in the character,” she also added, "I play the character of a police officer, and they are often perceived as strong-headed and serious individuals. But with my character, Gopi, the sir wanted to explore the vulnerable side of the police officer. There is this one scene where my character breaks down. It was not because she was feeling weak, but it was a sense of relief that she felt after letting go of a huge burden from her heart. It really felt very real and hard-hitting."
