Audiences at home will soon have a chance to don their deerstalker caps with Flipkart Video and Sikhya Entertainment’s latest interactive crime fiction series Kaun? Who did it? set to be premiered on the Flipkart App on 9 January.
The showrunner for Kaun? Who did it? is Umesh Bist, whose next feature is the Sanya Malhotra-starrer Pagglait. The series, which stars Sushant Singh and Samvedna Suwalka, has been written by veteran TV writer Sunjoy Shekhar.
Every episode will feature a thrilling murder case, allowing audiences the opportunity to get to the bottom of the mystery themselves and win exciting prizes as they deal with challenging twists, solve cryptic puzzles and identify suspects in real-time.
Singh plays Adi Bhagat, a former police officer-turned-detective. He is brought back to the fold by a determined assistant police inspector Malini (Suwalka), who requires his expertise. Though reluctant at first, Bhagat aids Malini.
Prakash Sikaria, Flipkart’s vice-president of growth and monetisation, shared his enthusiasm about partnering with Sikhya Entertainment for the new show. “Kaun? Who did it? is built on people's increasing fascination for shows with an element of ‘guessing’ and the innate urge to unravel a mystery.
“This show will provide the thrill of visceral entertainment and the rush of decoding a secret before the protagonist does. We’re excited to have users at the edge of their seats and will continue to explore many more engaging concepts within this genre,” he said.
This series marks the second collaboration of Flipkart Video and Sikhya Entertainment after Zindagi Inshort. Sikhya’s CEO, Guneet Monga, shared her feelings about creating this interactive whodunit in challenging circumstances.
“We conceptualized, shot and delivered this show in the lockdown and it’s heartening to begin this year with its release. Umesh Bist and Sunjoy Shekhar ensured that the content is cleverly planned within the limitations of lockdown without compromising on the much-loved flavour of a crime thriller,” she said.
