Netflix has just dropped a riveting teaser, along with a release date for its upcoming thriller and murder mystery show, ‘Aranyak’. The streaming giant had announced the show back in March 2021, as part of its massive slate of Indian originals. ‘Aranyak’ will mark the streaming debut of nineties’ star, Raveena Tandon. Aranyak premieres on Netflix on December 10, 2021.
The teaser of Aranyak lays bare the basic premise of the crime thriller drama. The plot is set in the backdrop of a small town in the hills, and is centred on the disappearance of a teenaged foreign tourist. As local cop Kasturi Dogra (Raveena Tandon) investigates the disappearance along with big-city cop Angad (Parambrata Chatterjee), things get murkier with murders and revived myths of a blood-thirsty supernatural creature on the prowl. Ashutosh Rana, Meghna Malik, Zakir Hussain and Indraneil Sengupta add heft to the cast.
‘Aranyak’ means forest or a forest-dweller in Hindi – an apt title for the show where all the action and thrill happens in the midst of an eerie jungle.
Aranyak is produced by Roy Kapur Films and Ramesh Sippy Entertainment, helmed by Rohan Sippy as the showrunner, and directed by Vinay Waikul. The official synopsis for Aranyak reads – “After a foreign teenage tourist disappears in a misty town, a harried, local cop Kasturi must join hands with her city-bred replacement Angad, on a big-ticket case that digs up skeletons and revives a forgotten myth of a bloodthirsty, serial killing entity in the forest”
Aranyak stars Raveena Tandon, Parambrata Chatterjee, Ashutosh Rana, Meghna Malik, Zakir Hussain, and Indraneil Sengupta in pivotal roles. The series premieres on Netflix on December 10. Have a look at the Aranyak teaser here –
