The trailer of Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sensharma starrer crime-comedy series Killer Soup was unveiled by the makers on Wednesday. The show has been created and directed by Abhishek Chaubey. The series will also feature Sayaji Shinde, Nasser, Lal, Anbuthasan, Anula Navlekar and Kani Kusruti in pivotal roles.

The trailer has frequent and feverish jump cuts telling the story of how Swathi Shetty (Konkona), an aspiring cook, murders her husband Prabhakar (Manoj) and replaces him with a man, Umesh Pillai, who looks like him. This won’t be as simple as it sounds as suspicions arise and the police are soon on Swathi and Umesh’s trail. The trailer suggests that there might be more murders than one and a blackmail angle for big money is also part of the picture.

Talking about doing a double-role, Manoj said, “For the first time in my career, I will be playing a double role, both starkly different from each other. I trusted Abhishek Chaubey's directorial prowess, Netflix as collaborators, and a stellar cast that breathed life into characters to create a surreal pot-boiler unlike any other stemming from an accidental crime.”

Playing the role of Swathi Shetty, actor Konkana Sensharma says, “Stepping into Swathi’s shoes was a unique experience for me as the character has depth, darkness and packs a lot of punch. The trailer offers a glimpse into the quirky world we’ve created set against the background of a sleepy town.”

The series premieres on Netflix on January 11.
