Netflix is set to spice up our screens with the release of 'Killer Soup', a crime thriller that promises to be a delectable serving of suspense, drama, and a hint of the unexpected. The trailer, unveiled by the streaming giant, introduces us to a tantalizing plot, that is "very very loosely based" on a "very very real headline", featuring the powerhouse duo of Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sensharma. The story revolves around Swathi Shetty, portrayed by Konkona Sensharma, a budding cook with a culinary dream – to have the world savour her soup. However, a seemingly innocent mishap triggers a domino effect of accidents and frantic cover-ups, plunging Swathi and her partner, Umesh, played by the versatile Manoj Bajpayee, into hot water.

What adds an extra layer of intrigue to the narrative is Manoj Bajpayee's revelation that he will be playing a double role for the first time in his career. The trailer hints at Nawazuddin Siddiqui's character with an eye covered in bandages, pointing to a possible eye injury, setting the stage for a gripping crime drama with unexpected twists.

Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, known for his directorial prowess, the series boasts a stellar cast, including Nasser, Sayaji Shinde, Lal, Anbuthasan, Anula Navlekar, and Kani Kusruti in pivotal roles. The collaboration between Netflix, Chaubey, and the talented ensemble promises to breathe life into characters, creating a surreal potboiler unlike any other accidental crime story.
