Nagesh Kukunoor on SIT and LTTE in The Hunt: Ensured I humanised both sides

 

Adding a high-profile political thriller to Sony LIV's (OTTplay Premium) lineup is the release of The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case on July 4, 2025. The 90-day investigation that followed the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in May 1991 is dramatised in the limited series, which is produced by Applause Entertainment and Kukunoor Movies.

Ninety Days is the first-person account of the manhunt written by investigative journalist Anairudhya Mitra, from which the show is adapted. In one story, SIT commander D.R. Kaarthikeyan is played by Amit Sial, while the other characters include investigators Sahil Vaid, Bagavathi Perumal, Danish Iqbal, and Girish Sharma. A parallel tale follows LTTE operators on the run.
