Supported by applause entertainment and Kukunur films, supported by Soni Liv, the project is a cinematic transformation of ninety days of Bestseling Book by investigative journalist Anirudhya Mitra.
Leaving an exciting preview of the upcoming series, Soni Liv wrote on her official Instagram handle, “That murder shook the nation. Shocking manhunt to the world. Hunt – Rajiv Gandhi murder case, streaming on Soni Live from 4 July. #ThehuntonsonySonyliv.”
The video revealed that there was a threat to Rajiv Gandhi before the murder, which was ignored. Later, it dives into the investigation that occurred after the murder in which a lot of fingers were raised in an attempt to establish accountability for the incident.
