The Madras Mystery OTT release: Nazriya Nazim's Tamil -Comeback -Riller hits Sonyliv on this date

Popular actress Nazriya Nazim will return to Tamil Cinema with ‘The Madras Mystery -Fall of a SuperStar’, a period crime thriller in British India. The film will be on Sonyliv Première on November 6, 2025, with an important return for the actress and a fresh approach to one of India’s oldest unresolved crimes. Nazriya’s ‘The Madras Mystery’ to release at OTT directed by Debutant Ashif Pavapettadayil, ‘The Madras Mystery’ is produced by Netru Indru in collaboration with Getto Entertainment. The film takes viewers back to the 1940s-a time of political tension, brilliance and dark secrets in India before independence. Although the official trailer has not yet been released, promotional photos indicate a rich, moody crime drama. In the middle of it, it’s a cruel murder – a mysterious murder that shocked the film world of colonial Madras. The story is presumably inspired by the Lakshmikanthan murder case, one of the most scandalous crimes of his time. Lakshmikanthan was a journalist known for the publication of gossip columns across South Indian movie stars. His sudden death – found in the streets of Madras – led to a startling trial, enormous public outrage and very unanswered questions. Although the plot of the film was driven under the wheels, “the Madras Mystery” appears to be exploring this life -realized event and sheds light on the dangerous relationship between fame, media and power during colonial rule. This film is the return from Nazriya Nazim to Kollywood after a significant break. Known for her strong presence and emotional depth of the screen, her actions will be a highlight of the film. Seasoned actors such as Natty, Shanthnu Bhagyaraj, Nasser and Yg Mahendran joined her. With such a strong cast, the film aims to combine cinematic beauty with poignant storytelling. What is the film about? ‘The Madras Mystery – Fall of a SuperStar’ will be released exclusively on Sonyliv on November 6, 2025. While audiences are waiting for the official trailer, there is already an increasing excitement about what can be one of the most ambitious period drillers in recent Tamil Cinema. The use of real historical events, combined with fictional storytelling and a powerful female lead, distinguishes this film from typical crime dramas. With its release only a few weeks away, it promises a compelling mix of mystery, history and emotion.
