The trailer for Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal’s Sector 36 was unveiled by the makers on Thursday. Written by Bodhayan Roychaudhary and directed by Aditya Nimbalkar, the film is inspired by true events in Delhi. It traces the story of a once-complacent police inspector who is on the heels of a devious serial killer when justice becomes personal as several children go missing from a basti (slum) in Sector 36.
The trailer follows Inspector Ram Charan Pandey (Deepak Dobriyal), who is on the lookout for a serial killer, Prem Singh (Vikrant Massey), who is creating a menace on the streets of Delhi. There are some horrifying visuals in the trailer where Prem kidnaps and murders a kid. The battle gets personal for Ram as his daughter goes missing one day, and there ensues a thrilling chase between the two.
Talking about his role in the film, Vikrant Massey said, “Stepping into the character of Prem for this film was unlike anything I have done before. To convincingly play a layered and terrifying killer who could pass off as any other person has been difficult. Aditya (Nimbalkar) has done a great job in creating this gritty world meticulously. This is an incredibly important film, and as storytellers, alongside Netflix and Maddock Films, we hope the audience will be able to see the need to tell stories like these.”
Deepak Dobriyal added, “I was captivated by the Sector 36 script from the very beginning. It’s a powerful thriller that brings to light class disparity and how crime thrives when left unchecked. Inspired by true events, my character brings an investigative urgency to an exciting film that focusses on the hunter and the hunted.”
Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Jyoti Deshpande, the film will be out on Netflix on September 13.
