'Transformative experience': Vaani Kapoor on her upcoming streaming debut Mandala Murders
Netflix and YRF Entertainment’s upcoming first-of-its-kind mythological-crime thriller series Mandala Murders is set to premiere on July 25.
It marks the debut of Vaani Kapoor on streaming, and the acclaimed actor is looking forward to showcasing her acting in a challenging, genre-bending project.
Mandala Murders is extra special for Vaani as this marks her first project with Gopi Puthran. The acclaimed filmmaker is known for his exceptional work on the 'Mardaani' franchise.
Vaani Kapoor says, "Collaborating with Gopi Sir on Mandala Murders is a masterclass in storytelling. His unparalleled ability to weave gritty realism with psychological depth transforms every scene into a layered experience.
"Gopi Sir doesn’t just direct crime thrillers; he immerses you in a world where every character’s motive is a mystery, every symbol holds a secret. Working alongside him isn’t just inspiring, it’s a journey into the heart of nuanced, atmospheric storytelling that redefines the genre."
She added, "What truly sets Gopi Sir apart is his commitment to authenticity. He challenges everyone on set to dig deeper, to find the raw, unspoken layers within each character.
"That level of creative rigor is both demanding and deeply rewarding. Being part of this creative process with him is both a privilege and a transformative experience."
The show is the second series from Netflix and YRF’s creative partnership, following the global success of The Railway Men in 2023.
Mandala Murders also features powerhouse performers like Vaibhav Raj Gupta, Surveen Chawla, and Shriya Pilgaonkar, who play pivotal characters at the heart of the mystery.
It has been created and directed by Gopi Puthran, known for his work on the ‘Mardaani’ franchise.
Manan Rawat serves as the co-director. YRF Entertainment has produced Mandala Murders.
