Suzhal – The Vortex begins with the disappearance of a young girl from a small town in Tamil Nadu. What begins as a mere missing-person investigative drama, soon spirals into a heart-thumping thriller with a twist at every turn and a secret tumbling out of every corner of the story, threatening to tear apart the town and its delicate social fabric. Set against the backdrop of an annual cultural festival, the series spins a masterful web of lies, deceit and suspicious characters with hidden agendas and a rollercoaster of emotions which will keep viewers at the edge of their seats. Replete with a fast-paced screenplay and some stupendous performances, the series promises to immerse audiences into a rabbit hole of mysteries and leave them eager for more.
Bramma, who has directed the first four episodes of the series, said “It is heart-warming to finally have our labour of love reach the audiences. What we have here are some superlative performances and a gripping narrative that will keep everyone guessing through every episode. Suzhal – The Vortex is an effort in differentiated storytelling that’s sure to strike a chord on various levels. With one dark mystery lying at core, the series manoeuvres through a rollercoaster of situations, beliefs and secrets that makes the characters, and the viewers constantly oscillate between what’s true and what’s not. I am delighted to collaborate with Pushkar and Gayatri and share their vision of offering a spectacular viewing experience. They have witnessed immense success for their work so far and we hope to replicate the same with Suzhal – The Vortex. We are really looking forward to the global premiere of the series on Prime Video and reactions to pour in from 240 countries and territories worldwide.”
Anucharan. M, who has directed episodes 5-8 of the series said “When I was approached with Suzhal – The Vortex, I was instantly taken in by the pace and complexity of the narrative. The sequence of events has been created in a way that will leave the audience glued onto their screens, leaving them intrigued at every instance. I am thankful for the faith Pushkar and Gayatri had in me in helming this cracker of a thriller and the entire team has put in humongous efforts to bring to life this story that’s a standout in the thriller genre. We are delighted that Suzhal – The Vortex will be presented across multiple Indian and foreign languages on Prime Video. This enables us to take the story to a huge audience at once and keep them entertained and engaged.”

I am looking forward to the global premiere of Suzhal – The Vortex on Prime Video across 240 countries and territories.”
