Mumbai, Sep 25 (NationPress) The team behind ‘Search: The Naina Murder Case’ launched the trailer for their upcoming crime thriller on Thursday. Actress Konkona Sensharma portrays ACP Sanyukta Das in the series and expressed her tendency to gravitate towards strong, multifaceted female characters.
Konkona Sensharma, taking the lead as ACP Sanyukta Das, stated: “I frequently find myself attracted to powerful, layered female roles, and ACP Sanyukta exemplifies strength. She balances her professional confidence with the complexities of family life, making her journey incredibly relatable.”
The actress noted that embodying ACP Sanyukta Das allowed her to explore both her strengths and vulnerabilities.
“Director Rohan Sippy’s clear vision and willingness to collaborate helped unveil the many dimensions of my character. ‘Search: The Naina Murder Case’ presents a gripping narrative that will captivate viewers as they delve into the intricate web of suspects,” she remarked.
Konkona added: “I’m particularly eager for audiences to witness Sanyukta’s inner journey — her doubts, her challenges, and the quiet bravery that propels her forward.”
The series tracks ACP Sanyukta Das and rookie ACP Jai Kanwal as they unravel a case that reveals the grim realities of a society where truth is scarce and everyone is a suspect.
At the heart of this intense murder mystery is ACP Sanyukta Das, a seasoned investigator on the verge of transferring departments to save her faltering marriage. However, before she can make that move, the murder of a teenage girl pulls her into one last case — a case that could drastically alter her life and unveil the deepest secrets of those involved.
Search: The Naina Murder Case also features Shiv Pandit, Varun Thakur, Dhruv Sehgal, Shraddha Das, among others.
Director Rohan Sippy commented: “Search: The Naina Murder Case transcends the typical murder mystery or whodunit — it’s an emotional, political, and psychological labyrinth. The series is filled with thrilling twists where truth remains elusive. Each character grapples with their own fears, concealing secrets, and managing relationships, ensuring viewers are kept on their toes.”
“At the center of it all is ACP Sanyukta, portrayed masterfully by Konkona. She brings a quiet intensity to the role, and her instincts alongside her collaborative spirit elevate every scene, adding authenticity that anchors the entire narrative.”
Surya Sharma, portraying ACP Jai Kanwal, remarked: “On the surface, ACP Jai Kanwal appears to be a young officer eager to make his mark, but the case rapidly disrupts his worldview, showing him that the line between right and wrong is often blurred. I appreciated that he is not a flawless character; he falters, questions himself, making him relatable and human.”
“Collaborating with Konkona Sensharma was a source of inspiration; her focus and depth enhanced every scene we shared. The trailer has offered a glimpse of the tension and twists, and I’m genuinely excited to see how audiences respond to the complete narrative.”
