Chunky Pandey has been roped in to play the scary antagonist this time around, in a unique casting coup to treat audiences.

The series follows a police investigation carried out by Neha Singh (Bipasha) when her former lover Aditya's (Grover) wife is suspiciously kidnapped. A lot of secrets are unearthed as she gets tangled in a thick web of betrayal. Nobody is to be trusted in this game of lies as Neha vows to find the truth, no matter what the cost.

It's been a while since Bollywood came up with a chilling mystery, the series releases on 14th August.

Bloodshot (Amazon Prime)

Hollywood doesn't want to miss out on the fun either, as Vin Diesel arrives in India with his sci-fi bonanza, based on comics of the same name.

As he smells a conspiracy against him, all hell breaks loose with the former marine unleashing hell on the ones that did him wrong.
