Mumbai: The long-awaited trailer for the upcoming web series ‘Murder in Mahim’ has finally been unveiled, promising audiences a riveting dive into Mumbai’s shadowy depths. Adapted from Jerry Pinto’s acclaimed crime thriller novel, the series is slated to debut on JioCinema Premium on May 10, 2024.
Released today, May 3, the trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the investigation of a complex murder case unfolding in Mumbai’s bustling Mahim neighborhood. Seasoned actors Ashutosh Rana and Vijay Raaz take center stage, portraying a seasoned inspector and a determined journalist, respectively. Joining them are Shivani Raghuvanshi and Shivaji Satam, lending their talents to pivotal roles, enriching the ensemble cast.
Packed with intrigue, the trailer captivates with its gritty visuals, sharp exchanges, and palpable suspense, leaving viewers pondering the motives behind the murder and the layers of secrets lurking beneath the surface.
In discussing his role in ‘Murder in Mahim’, Ashutosh Rana remarked, “When it’s about complex roles, I’m the most excited. Peter is one such character. Meri koshish humesha yeh hi rehti hai ki main kuch alag karun, ek alag look mein (I was try to do something different, in a different look), and Murder in Mahim gave me that opportunity. Peter’s inner struggle amid the complexities of the murder investigation allowed me to add depth to the character. It is not just a profound murder mystery, it’s layered with so many significant plots that mirror the social stigmas around caste, gender and sexuality, with rare sensitivity. That’s the beauty of this show.”

Vijay Raaz added, “The most fascinating aspect of Jende’s character is the various shades to his persona. My effort was to bring a humane touch to this character, which is evident in the investigation scenes, but at the same time, there is aggression on the personal front which comes out in front of his family. So, it was exciting to etch out the emotional arc of my character and bring an entire gamut of emotions on screen. Working on a show like Murder in Mahim is a rare experience. The entire team has put their heart and soul on this show, hope the audience will enjoy watching it.”
Derived from Jerry Pinto’s lauded literary work, the gripping series is directed by Raj Acharya and produced by Tipping Point Films and Jigsaw Pictures. Audiences can catch ‘Murder in Mahim’ exclusively on JioCinema starting May 10.
