The OTT platform Sony LIV announced its upcoming web series titled “The Madras Murder” on Monday. The series is set against the backdrop of the murder of a journalist in the 1940s of the British reign in India.
Reportedly, the show will revolve around the conspiracies and uncanny murder of a disreputable yellow journalist who was known for penning scandalous pieces about movie stars, as well as the murder’s connection to Tamil cinema’s first celebrity.
Sooriyaprathap S. will be writing and helming the series. The film’s showrunner will be director AL Vijay. IB Karthikeyan will produce this programme under the Big Print Pictures label.
Al Vijay expressed his views and said, “It feels great to be associated with the most challenging and prestigious project, “The Madras Murder” based on a real incident that happened in the Madras Presidency. To present a tremendous and magnificent experience for the viewers, our entire team will put up the optimum effort in recreating the pre-Independence era on the digital screen.”
Further details in association with the casting are yet to be disclosed.
