“At first, the deaths appear to be clear-cut suicides but as the cases unravel, Anjali begins to suspect that a serial killer is on the loose. What follows is a riveting game of cat and mouse between a seasoned criminal and an underdog cop as she pieces together evidence before another innocent woman loses her life,” the statement read.
On the work front, Sonakshi Sinha was last seen in 2022’s Double XL, co-starring Huma Qureshi.
