Surveen Chawla Leads with Grit and Grace in the Trailer of Mandala Murders
After Rana Naidu and Criminal Justice, the OTT icon returns in a fierce, female-led thriller
Surveen Chawla is no stranger to commanding attention on screen — and with the trailer of Mandala Murders now live, she proves once again why she’s considered one of the most powerful voices in the OTT space. After delivering standout performances in Rana Naidu and Criminal Justice, Surveen takes center stage in this gripping new thriller that dives into the unsettling layers of crime, belief, and human complexity.
In Mandala Murders, she portrays a strong, unafraid female lead — a role that aligns perfectly with her bold trajectory and instinctive screen presence. From the very first frame, Surveen captivates with intensity and quiet control, embodying a character who is not only at the heart of the chaos but also the force determined to unravel it.
Reflecting on why this project felt destined, Surveen shared:
“There was an immediate, energetic connection — the kind that tells you this is something special. It felt like a merging of creative energies that had to happen. It wasn’t just about the uniqueness of the story or how different it was from anything I’ve done before, but the sheer sense of surrender it asked for. Gopi sir is the embodiment of faith in his vision, and surrendering to the world he and Manan created was both instinctive and very special. I’m grateful to be part of this journey.”
Over the years, Surveen has carved a niche for herself as an actor who chooses depth over formula — and Mandala Murders continues that legacy. This series further cements her position as a true powerhouse performer, not just leading the story but redefining what female-led thrillers can look like in India.
Mandala Murders is directed by Gopi Puthran and features a stellar ensemble cast. With its moody tone, layered writing, and gripping performances, the show is set to become a breakout title in the thriller genre.
