‘Actors Like Konkona Make All the Difference’ — Rohan Sippy on Directing Search: The Naina Murder Case

The much-anticipated crime thriller Search: The Naina Murder Case premieres on 10th October 2025 exclusively on JioHotstar, unraveling a world of secrets, political cover-ups, and a chilling murder that shakes an entire community. Konkona Sensharma leads as ACP Sanyukta Das, a seasoned investigator drawn into one last high-stakes case just as she prepares to leave her department and repair her personal life, while Surya Sharma, Shiv Pandit, Varun Thakur, Dhruv Sehgal, and Shraddha Das bring depth and intensity to a story where everyone harbors secrets. Layered with suspense, emotional complexity, and gritty realism, the series is not just a whodunit but a sharp commentary on a society where truth is rare and everyone is a suspect. At the helm is director Rohan Sippy, whose versatility across genres ensures that while the twists keep audiences on edge, it’s the characters’ humanity, anchored by Konkona’s compelling performance, that drives the story forward.

With the series bringing together such a layered story and a powerhouse cast, Rohan Sippy shared his thoughts on working with Konkona Sensharma: “I approach each new show with the same excitement I have as a viewer. Having a great actor both on and off screen is essential for a show to truly connect, and getting Konkona on board was crucial. I’ve been fortunate to work with such talented actors including Pankaj Tripathi, KayKay Menon, Huma Qureshi, and Nawaz bhai, and Konkona brought the same brilliance to this series. She is a delight in her preparation, performance, and collaboration with the crew and cast. Many of the younger actors were in awe of her, but she went out of her way to put them at ease. And we share a weird sense of humor, which helps get through long shoot days!”

Dark, gripping, and layered with emotional depth, Search: The Naina Murder Case promises to keep audiences hooked till the very end. With Konkona leading the charge, this series is one of JioHotstar’s most awaited thrillers of the year.
