Prime
Video
recently
announced
the
global
premiere
of
their
upcoming
original
Tamil
horror
series,
The
Village.
Inspired
by
Asvin
Srivatsangam,
Vivek
Rangachari,
and
Shamik
Dasgupta's
graphic
horror
novel
of
the
same
name,
this
horror
thriller
narrates
the
story
of
a
man,
who
is
on
a
quest
to
unravel
the
mystery
behind
his
family's
disappearance.
Arya,
one
of
the
most
versatile
actors
of
the
industry
has
worked
in
the
industry
for
over
a
decade
and
is
now
making
his
long-format
streaming
debut
with
this
horror
series.
He
plays
Gautam;
a
man
on
a
rescue
mission
to
find
his
family,
along
with
some
locals
in
the
village
of
Kattiyal.
Speaking
about
his
exciting
project,
Jamshad
Cethirakath,
aka
Arya,
shared,
"My
OTT
debut
with
The
Village
has
definitely
been
a
different
kind
of
experience.
The
show's
concept,
which
is
the
horror-thriller
element
with
a
lot
of
gore,
and
a
very
rooted
story
was
also
never
experienced
in
the
Indian
OTT
market.
I
found
that
particularly
enticing,
which
led
me
to
pursue
it
further.
The
horror
series
is
a
class
apart
from
all
other
horror
genres
seen
on
the
Indian
OTT
platforms.
A
lot
of
times,
the
horror
that
we
see
in
movies
too
is
very
restricted
and
one
cannot
go
beyond
a
certain
point
while
creating
it,
but
here
Milind
(Rau
-
the
director)
has
gone
all
out.
I
think
this
is
a
way
for
creators
to
believe
in
making
this
kind
of
content
because
people
really
want
to
watch
these
types
of
genres."
Along
with
Arya,
The
Village
features
Divya
Pillai,
Aazhiya,
Aadukalam
Naren,
George
Mayan,
PN
Sunny,

Kalairaani
S.S.,
John
Kokken,
Pooja,
V
Jayaprakash,
Arjun
Chidambaram,
and
Thalaivasal
Vijay
in
pivotal
roles.
It
showcases
eerie-looking
creatures,
mutants
and
an
unending
night
of
terror
that
relentlessly
haunts
a
family,
pushing
them
to
the
brink
of
their
endurance.
This
original
Tamil
horror
series
is
directed
by
Milind
Rau
and
produced
by
B.S.Radhakrishnan
under
the
banner
of
