“Supernatural horror has been an incredibly exciting space that we have been exploring with very encouraging audience response,” says Nikhil Madhok, director & head of originals, Prime Video, India. “With Andhera, we aim to strengthen this further and introduce audiences to a deeply intriguing story that has an emotionally powerful theme. Replete with twists and turns, the gripping drama offers an experience that is intense, immersive, and thought-provoking. We’re thrilled to collaborate with Excel Entertainment once again as we continue to push the envelope of storytelling in India and beyond.”
“Making Andhera has been one of the most fulfilling experiences I’ve had,” shares creator Gaurav Desai. “I’ve always been drawn to horror and the supernatural, so finally putting something out there in these genres feels surreal. From the start, the idea was to create something that wasn’t just scary, but stayed with you—something that made you uneasy in a quiet and lasting way. The real challenge was to tap into a kind of fear that feels raw and primal, and bring that to life on screen while staying connected to the emotional core. At the heart of Andhera, though, it’s the story that drives everything. The tension, the twists, the slow reveals—that’s what I hope will keep people hooked. We had an instinctive and committed cast, and a team that pushed to make this world feel alive, new, and still very human.”
“With Andhera, we wanted to push the boundaries of genre storytelling in India. This isn’t just a supernatural thriller—it’s a layered narrative about fear, power, and the human psyche. Backed by a stellar ensemble and a bold, cinematic vision, the series explores what happens when darkness is not just around us, but within us. We’re proud to collaborate with Prime Video to bring this unique story to audiences worldwide,” says Kassim Jagmagia, Executive Producer, Excel Entertainment.
