Bollywood’s beloved girl-next-door, Parineeti Chopra, is all set to make her streaming debut—but not in a romantic comedy. The actress has officially started filming for an upcoming Netflix mystery thriller, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Shimla’s rolling hills.
The untitled series is produced by Siddharth P. Malhotra and Sapna Malhotra of Alchemy Productions, with the narrative crafted and directed by Rensil D’Silva, known for his work on hits like Rang De Basanti and Ungli. Promising a heady mix of suspense and intrigue, the show features an ensemble cast that includes Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anup Soni, Jennifer Winget, Chaitannya Choudhry, Harleen Sethi, and Soni Razdan.
Taking to X, Parineeti expressed her excitement, saying, “Some mysteries don’t just unfold—they pull you in, keep you guessing, and refuse to let go. We’ve got a lead on this case. A new mystery thriller series is in the making! Shooting has begun, can’t wait for you all to see this labor of love from team Netflix and us when it’s ready! Making my series OTT debut.”
Producers Siddharth Malhotra and Rensil D’Silva shared their enthusiasm about the project: “We are thrilled to collaborate on this Noir Mystery Thriller with Netflix, a platform that celebrates storytelling in its most diverse and compelling forms. Working with Netflix has given us the creative freedom to push boundaries and bring a unique narrative to life. With such a talented cast and Parineeti stepping into the series format with us, we’re excited for what lies ahead and can’t wait for audiences to see the mystery unfold.”
Netflix India’s Series Head, Tanya Bami, added, “Set against the misty hills of Shimla, this gripping thriller unravels secrets, emotions, and the depths of human nature with unmatched intensity. With the creative vision of Rensil D’Silva and Siddharth P. Malhotra, and a powerhouse cast featuring Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anup Soni, and Harleen Sethi, the series captivates from the very first scene. We’re delighted to welcome Parineeti Chopra back to Netflix following her stellar performance in Amar Singh Chamkila—now in her first-ever series—and we’re equally excited to have Jennifer Winget join us. Prepare for a journey that will keep you on the edge of your seat!”
This thriller marks Parineeti Chopra’s fourth collaboration with Netflix. Her previous ventures include Ribhu Dasgupta’s mystery drama The Girl on the Train, Imtiaz Ali’s biographical film Amar Singh Chamkila alongside Diljit Dosanjh, and an upcoming romantic comedy directed by Dhruv Tripathi. With each project spanning a different genre, Parineeti continues to prove her versatility and determination to conquer every facet of the OTT world.
