Sriram Raghavan set to helm his next thriller in June

After the humongous success of Andhadhun (2018), filmmaker Sriram Raghavan is set to wield the megaphone for yet another suspense thriller. The film will be produced by Ramesh Taurani under the banner of Tips Films. The producer last bankrolled the Salman Khan starrer Race 3 (2018), which failed to fare well at the cash counter.

Though the makers confirm signing Raghavan to helm the suspense thriller, which hits the shooting floor in June, everyone is tight-lipped about the storyline of the project at the moment.


"Yes, we signed Sriram last year and had planned to start this film soon after he wrapped up Andhadhun. He’s a brilliant director who has proved his mettle time and again. We are all excited and have been meeting regularly. The film is currently being scripted. We will begin casting as soon as he finishes writing it. Sriram is known for his thrillers and we are working on making this one as interesting as the others," said Ramesh Taurani.

Amongst Raghavan’s previous work, Johnny Gaddaar (2007) and Badlapur (2017) have gained cult status over the years.

  • Regional stories and folklore films are expanding the genre.
  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
