Madhuri Dixit-Nene is reportedly set to venture into uncharted territory. The actor, who made her digital debut with the intriguing thriller The Fame Game, is now in talks to play a serial killer in a new web series helmed by the acclaimed director, Nagesh Kukunoor.
Titled Mrs Deshpande, the series is a psychological thriller that revolves around a unique premise. It explores the idea of the police enlisting a convicted serial killer to assist in profiling and apprehending another serial killer on the loose. The show is reportedly an adaptation of a French series.
A report by Mid-Day quoted a source saying, “The show tells the story of how the police hire a serial killer and pick her brains to understand another serial killer’s modus operandi and nab him. The show is a remake of a French series.” The source further added, “The casting is underway. The team is excited to present Madhuri in a dark role.”
If everything falls into place, Nagesh Kukunoor will make a comeback to the digital space after his stint with Modern Love Hyderabad. Known for his sensitive storytelling, Kukunoor’s association with a dark thriller promises to be an intriguing combination. However, fans have to wait for an official announcement to confirm the same.
