June 12 is the premiere date of the upcoming 'Prime Original' series 'Raakh'. Directed and executive produced by Prosit Roy, the series is created, written and co-directed by Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket, with dialogues by Ayush Trivedi.

Produced by Deepak Dhar, Rishi Negi, Mrinalini Jain and Shyam Rathi under the banner of 'Endemol Shine India' in association with 'BhaDiPa', 'Raakh' stars Sonali Bendre, Ali Fazal and Aamir Bashir in lead roles.

'Raakh' is an investigative drama that unfolds as a visceral study of the criminal mind and the darkness that lingers beneath the surface of everyday life. When two teenagers vanish without a trace, a close-knit family is shattered and an entire city is left on edge. A relentless investigating officer launches a nationwide manhunt to uncover the truth. Still, the deeper he goes, the more the case pulls him into a world of violence and human depravity.

"With 'Raakh', we had a brilliant script, but the on-screen execution has been even better," said Nikhil Madhok, director and head of 'Originals', 'Prime Video India'.

Prosit Roy, Director and Executive Producer, said: "'Raakh' has been one of the most creatively fulfilling and emotionally intense projects I have worked on, because at its heart, it goes far beyond being a crime thriller. What excited me most about 'Raakh' was the opportunity to merge the thrill of a gripping manhunt with an unflinching exploration of trauma and the darker impulses of human nature. Anusha and Sandeep have created a world that is meticulously researched, intricately layered and rich with moral ambiguity. Ali brings a quiet ferocity that anchors the entire narrative, while Sonali and Aamir inhabit their characters with an intensity that makes every moment feel real. It has also been wonderful to once again collaborate with 'Prime Video' after 'Paatal Lok' and I cannot wait for audiences to experience this on June 12."
