Prime Video’s Tamil original horror drama series Inspector Rishi will premiere on 29 March on the OTT platform worldwide. The 10-episode series created by Nandhini JS features versatile actor Naveen Chandra along with a talented cast including Sunainaa, Kanna Ravi, Malini Jeevarathnam, Srikrishna Dayal, and Kumaravel in pivotal roles.
Inspector Rishi presents a gripping narrative that traces the journey of a skeptical inspector, Rishi Nandhan, whose steadfast convictions are challenged when he investigates a series of peculiar murders entwined with supernatural occurrences. As he navigates through this mind-bending case replete with horror and suspense, he confronts formidable obstacles, both in unraveling the mysteries shrouding the crime and grappling with his own inner turmoil.
Prime Video has only released a poster of the show, with the trailer yet to be out. But from the looks of the poster, the show looks like folk horror, much like the thriller series The Village which was released on the platform in November 2023.
“As a creator, working on Inspector Rishi, has been a deeply gratifying experience and I am grateful for this collaboration. Integrating a police procedural with horror and mystery has allowed me to explore new dimensions of storytelling, delving deeper into the eerie and enigmatic world of Inspector Rishi,” said Nandhini. “The splendid performances of the cast including Naveen Chandra, Sunainaa, Kanna Ravi, Malini Jeevarathnam, Srikrishna Dayal, Kumaravel and the dedicated efforts of the crew members have beautifully translated my vision onto the screen.”
“Nandhini brings a distinctly female gaze to this riveting crime investigation series infused with captivating supernatural elements, ensuring our viewers a great cinematic experience,” said Prime Video India and Southeast Asia head of originals Aparna Purohit.
The series is produced by Shukdev Lahiri under the banner of Make Believe Productions.
