In the upcoming crime thriller Cheekatilo, Sobhita Dhulipala is caught in the web of a serial killer. The film, directed by Sharan Kopishetty, is set to premiere on January 23, on Prime Video.

Speaking about her character, Sobhita said, "I see Sandhya as a natural leader, not because she is fearless, but because she doesn’t let uncertainty decide her actions. There’s a quiet decisiveness to her. She’s driven by the need for clarity rather than validation, and that steadiness is what ultimately moves the story forward."

In Cheekatilo, Sobhita will play the role of a journalist-turned-podcaster, who investigates the murder of her close friend. She said, "What interested me was the responsibility inherent to the role. Sandhya isn’t chasing drama; she’s chasing clarity. That mindset, of asking uncomfortable questions and remaining steady in uncertainty is something I carried forward from this experience."

The cast of the film also includes Viswadev Rachakonda, with Chaitanya Visalakshmi, Esha Chawla, Jhansi, Aamani and Vadlamani Srinivas, among others.
