The film, directed by Balaji Kumar, the film is now titled 'Hatya' in Telugu. The film that is loosely inspired by the murder of Dorothy King incident in 1923 that shocked the entire world for its incredulous complexities is cracking the mystery lying beneath it, is now being made in Telugu as well.
The filmmaker says that he had to work on 30-odd drafts before the final draft, which has the premise adapted to the modern-day backdrops. Sharing about the film’s gist, he adds, “The story is about a beautiful model named Leila, who is found murdered in her upscale apartment. One of the five men known to her, each with a motive to see Leila dead, has managed to get in on the right of her death. Detective Vinayak (Vijay Antony) has refrained from active field works after a personal tragedy for years. However, with the case turning out to be complicated, the department has no options left, but to bring him back to crack the mystery. The characterisation encapsulates its brilliance while solving the mystery, and emotional adherence as a doting father as well. Ritika Singh plays Sandhya, who has to work under her mentor Vinayak to get to the bottom of the case, and solve it.”
