Andhera marks a new direction for Indian streaming content — described as an urban horror drama, the series is set in the heart of Mumbai, where a sinister force lurking within the city’s vertical sprawl begins to prey on the living. Tapping into local mythology, psychological terror, and the invisible fears of city life, the show promises a fresh take on horror — one deeply rooted in modern Indian anxieties.
Surveen Chawla, best known for genre-defying roles in Hate Story 2 and Parched, leads a cast that blends TV, film, and digital fame. Joining her is Marathi cinema powerhouse Priya Bapat, and TV and OTT actor Karan Veer Mehra, while digital sensation Prajakta Koli (MostlySane) adds an interesting layer of relatability to the story.
The poster, released with the announcement, features cracked human faces with hollow eyes, a haunting visual that evokes themes of fractured identity and emotional erosion — visual elements that psychological research (APA, 2021) suggests are especially effective in eliciting visceral fear responses in audiences.
Produced by Excel Entertainment and directed by Chintan Sarda, the series is being promoted as a character-driven horror-thriller — a departure from the usual tropes seen in Indian supernatural content. With Mohit Shah, Sumit Kumar, Karmanya Ahuja, and Krishna Kassim contributing behind the scenes, the team is stacked with talent known for edgy, out-of-the-box narratives.
Brace yourself. The Andhera is coming.
