Amazon Prime Video India’s ‘Are You Ready’ event announced multiple projects that were in the pipeline for the streaming giant. From post-theatrical releases to the renewal of a popular web series, the event was a powerhouse of announcements and reveals. One of the announcements was the renewal of the thriller series Suzhal - The Vortex.
Created by Pushkar-Gayathri of Vikram Vedha fame, the series would move on from the events in Sambaloor and would reportedly shift the setting to another small town called Kaalipattanam. Set against the backdrop of the Ashtakaali Festival, the second season sees the return of Kathir as Sakkarai and Aishwarya Rajesh as Nandini. Pushkar-Gayathri mentioned that the second season of the show was in the last leg of filming.
The first season of Suzhal - The Vortex followed the story of a union leader in a town in the Nilgiris district, whose daughter goes missing during the auspicious Angalamman festival. R Parthiban, Sriya Reddy, Kathir, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Harish Utthaman starred in the first season.
