About the film Cheekatilo
Set in the vibrant yet shadowy lanes of Hyderabad, the film centers on Sandhya, a true crime podcaster whose professional curiosity soon turns deeply personal. When her intern dies under mysterious circumstances, what initially appears to be an isolated tragedy slowly opens the door to a far more disturbing reality. As Sandhya digs deeper, she uncovers a disturbing network of crimes that exposes the city’s hidden underbelly, forcing her to confront danger at every turn.
D. Suresh Babu, producer of Cheekatilo, shared, “Cheekatilo is a layered, emotional suspense drama. What’s close to my heart is how it explores the courage to confront darkness and speak the truth, something we need more of in society today. Working with Prime Video has been a wonderful experience.”
He added, “The movie marks another milestone in our longstanding collaboration. We share a vision of championing unique, culturally rooted narratives with relatable characters that not only entertain but deeply engage viewers. With its haunting storyline and powerful performances, Cheekatilo promises an unforgettable and gripping journey. I am excited for audiences in India and around the world to experience it when it premieres globally on Prime Video on January 23.”
