The trailer of Abhishek Bachchan and Nithya Menen's new web series Breathe: Into The Shadows was released on Wednesday. The intriguing trailer promises a dark psychological crime thriller.
The series, which will premiere on Amazon Prime Video, is about how Dr Avinash (Abhishek Bachchan) and his wife (Nithya Menen) try to rescue their abducted daughter from a serial killer. To release the daughter, the serial killer doesn’t demand money, but wants them to play a twisted game. The killer wants two persons to be killed in exchange for the safe release of their daughter.
Nithya Menen, who plays the mother of the child, can be seen frantically searching for her and breaking down. Interestingly, Nithya's last Tamil film, Psycho, was also about a serial killer. She played a retired policewoman with a disability.
Abhishek plays a psychiatrist in Breathe: Into The Shadows. As the police fail to rescue the child, his character Dr Avinash prepares himself to commit the crimes. Whether he plays the game to save his daughter or works with the police to catch the killer forms the plot. The promising web series will stream from July 10.
Through this series, Abhishek Bachchan and Nithya Menen are making their digital debut, alongside Amit Sadh and Saiyami Kher.
The psychological crime thriller is produced by Abundantia Entertainment, created and directed by Mayank Sharma. The show has been written by Bhavani Iyer, Vikram Tuli, Arshad Syed and Mayank Sharma.
