Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals, Prime Video India, said: “Proshit Roy, Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket have constructed a story that is at once compelling and devastating. Ali Fazal has created a story about everything he believes in. Sonali Bendre and Aamir Basheer deliver exceptional depth as police officers caught up in a case that threatens to unravel the truth, while Sonali Bendre and Aamir Basheer bring a layered intensity that elevates every frame.It’s a story that stays with you long after the screen goes dark.
Roy added: “The Lark was one of the most creatively fulfilling and emotionally intense projects I’ve ever worked on, because at its core it’s so much more than a crime thriller. What excited me most about The Lark was the thrill of the thrilling investigation, the unflinching trauma and It was an opportunity to combine explorations of human nature’s darkest impulses. Anusha and Sandeep have created a deeply researched and intricately drawn world, while Ali brings a quiet ferocity that underpins the entire story, while Sonali and Aamir bring their characters to life with such intensity that every moment feels real.”
Prosit Roy and Sandeep Saket are represented by Tulsi.
