'Killer Soup' trailer: Konkona Sen Sharma, Manoj Bajpayee are stirring up the most bizarre crime thriller

As 2024 begins, it brings with it a lineup of exciting OTT releases, and among the highly anticipated ones is 'Killer Soup,' featuring Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sen Sharma. The trailer for this Abhishek Chaubey show has been unveiled and it promises an intriguing fusion of various genres.

The film centers around Swathi Shetty, an aspiring chef who dreams of sharing her soup with the world. A single mishap triggers a domino effect of mishaps and frantic attempts to conceal them, ultimately placing both her and her partner in a precarious situation.

According to the official description, ‘Loosely inspired by a news headline, the series delves into the rapid sequence of events involving amateur villains, heroes, and those caught in between in the fictional town of Mainjur.’

Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who will be playing the role of Swathi's lover Umesh, said, ‘For the first time in my career, I will be playing a double role, both starkly different from each other. I trusted Abhishek Chaubey's directorial prowess, Netflix as collaborators, and a stellar cast that breathed life into characters to create a surreal pot-boiler unlike any other stemming from an accidental crime. At its heart, Killer Soup is a crime thriller that blends multiple genres, making it a delicious serving that everyone can enjoy.’

Talking about her character, Konkana said, ‘Stepping into Swathi Shetty's shoes was a unique experience for me as the character has depth, darkness and packs a lot of punch. Working on the series with long-time collaborators Netflix and Abhishek Chaubey and a talented set of actors was a delight. The trailer offers a glimpse into the quirky world we've created set against the background of a sleepy town. With hints of suspense peppered through the series, it makes you wonder, 'Will she or won't she get caught and will the soup boil over?' I eagerly await the audience's reaction when they watch Killer Soup.’

The series, which also stars Nasser, Sayaji Shinde, Lal, Anbuthasan, Anula Navlekar and Kani Kusruti in pivotal roles, is set to release on Netflix on January 11.
