The teaser shows Madhuri in a dimly lit kitchen, chopping vegetables with a calm yet menacing precision, her expressions morphing from her signature charm to the chilling persona of a serial killer. The eerie transformation immediately establishes the psychological tension that the series promises.
Directed by Nagesh Kukunoor and produced under Kukunoor Movies in collaboration with Applause Social, the series is an adaptation of the French hit La Mante. Madhuri plays an imprisoned murderer who reluctantly aids the police in tracking down a copycat killer, blending suspense, drama, and her magnetic screen presence.
The star-studded cast also includes Siddharth Chandekar, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Diksha Juneja, Pradeep Welankar, and Nimisha Nair, promising strong ensemble performances alongside Dixit’s gripping lead. Technical teams like Elahe Hiptoola and Prasoon Garg ensure the series is as stylishly crafted as it is thrilling.
Mrs. Deshpande streams exclusively on JioHotstar from 19 December 2025, setting the stage for what could be one of the year’s most talked-about psychological thrillers. Madhuri’s killer smile has never looked so dangerous.
