Prime Video will globally premiere “Vadhandhi – The Mystery of Mani” this August, the streamer revealed, bringing back its Tamil-language original suspense thriller franchise for a second season.
Andrew Louis, who created and wrote the first season, returns to write and direct Season 2, with Pushkar and Gayatri overseeing the project as creative producers under their Wallwatcher Films banner. Across eight episodes, M. Sasikumar plays SI Moosa Raza, a lawman whose search for answers puts him at odds with political pressure, press attention and his own weaknesses. Yashwanth, Anagha Maruthora, Aparna Das, Vivek Prasanna, Revathy Sharma and Arjun Nandhakumar round out the cast in pivotal roles.
Set in Madurai, the season weaves its investigation narrative through the culturally rich backdrop of the Jallikattu festival, continuing the franchise’s throughline of rumor versus reality. The case begins when skeletal remains surface during ceremonies marking the launch of a highway project, a discovery that puts Moosa Raza on the trail of an elusive prisoner named Mani.
The series will stream on Prime Video in Tamil, with dubs in Telugu and Hindi and subtitles in 15 languages including English, worldwide from Aug. 7.
