After coming up with quite a few short films, Amazon miniTV is now all set to present a web-series titled Murder In Agonda. The first two episodes will go live on 8 April while the other three will be released every Friday from then.
Directed by Vikram Rai and produced by Arré Studio, the show, as per the name, is a murder mystery set in Goa starring Shriya Pilgaonkar, Aasif Khan, Kubra Sait and Lillete Dubey.
