Also, being an avid consumer of content in the true crime genre, I’m drawn to this blend of thrill and emotional impact. This film is not just based on a true story but also has a set of riveting characters and twists and turns that are set to keep the audience on the edges of their seats all through. I’m equally excited to partner with Vikram and his team as I’ve seen them support and enable differentiated work and make their films connect strong and wide. ”
