Mumbai: The upcoming streaming show ‘Adhura’ will tell the story of a nostalgic reunion which turns sinister, touching upon the themes of guilt, remorse and revenge. The motion poster of the show was unveiled on Tuesday and it features a spine-chilling image of a school boy as the animation gives an impression of him being possessed.
The show stars Rasika Dugal, Ishwak Singh, Shrenik Arora, and Poojan Chhabra, Rahul Dev, Zoa Morani, Rijul Ray, Sahil Salathia, Aru Krishansh Verma, KC Shankar and Jaimini Pathak.
The story unfolds through two timelines, in 2022 and 2007, as secrets and chilling events plague the students and staff of a prestigious boarding school when Adhiraj Jaisingh (Ishwak Singh) encounters Vedant Malik (Shrenik Arora), a troubled 10-year-old student. As the past and present collide, a dark secret threatens to emerge, linking Adhiraj to Vedant.
Nikkhil Advani, producer, Emmay Entertainment, said, “With ‘Adhura’, we are exploring the horror, supernatural genre for the first time and are delighted to venture into this space with Prime Video. We are glad to collaborate with them once again after the immense success of Mumbai Diaries. With each episode, the viewers will be immersed in the intricacies
