The cast includes Rahul Bose, Shahana Goswami, Prajakta Koli, Neeraj Kabi and Shashank Arora, each portraying suspects harbouring their own secrets.
The intriguing trailer will instantly remind one of Agatha Christie’s classic mystery And Then There Were None, albeit with the addition of Vidya’s detective character, Mira Rao. As Mira delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers the motives each suspect may have to kill Ashish.
