Popular actress Shriya Pilgaonkar stepped into the industry with Shah Rukh Khan’s Fan, backed by YRF. Since then, she has made a name for herself with her performances in shows like Mirzapur, Guilty Minds, and Taaza Khabar among others. Most recently, the actress dropped a major hint about her reunion with YRF, and it is now reported that it is for none other than Mandala Murders.

For the unversed, Mandala Murders features Vaani Kapoor, Surveen Chawla, and Vaibhav Raj Gupta in the key roles. The gripping thriller series is set to release later this year in 2025. However, it was reported just a few days back that director Gopi Puthran and his team have restarted filming, even though the main shoot concluded earlier this year.

According to a Mid-day report, Mandala Murders features Vaani Kapoor in the role of a detective unraveling a string of murders. The show is promised to be an ambitious project packed with intense action and intricate storytelling. An insider revealed that the creators and editors of the show felt that some scenes required refinement to amplify the thriller’s suspense and depth during the editing.

The series was announced officially earlier this year with a teaser in a special hosted by the streaming platform.
