JioHotstar has released the trailer for its upcoming Hotstar Specials crime thriller, Search: The Naina Murder Case. The trailer showcases Konkona Sensharma's ACP Sanyukta Das, a seasoned investigator who is about to switch departments in an effort to salvage her crumbling marriage. Before she can act, a high-stakes inquiry into the teenage girl's death forces her to uncover the deepest, darkest truths of all those involved. On October 10, 2025, the show will debut on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium).

Konkona Sensharma and Surya Sharma lead the investigation

The show, which is helmed by Rohan Sippy, follows the story of ACP Sanyukta Das and rookie ACP Jai Kanwal, who is portrayed by Surya Sharma, as they try to uncover the truth in a world where suspicion lurks around every corner and the truth is difficult to come by. Shraddha Das, Varun Thakur, Dhruv Sehgal, and Shiv Pandit are among the other actors in the cast.

Search: The Naina Murder Case is an emotional, political, and psychological labyrinth – that is what series creator Sippy had to say about it. The filmmaker stated, "The series is filled with constant twists and turns where the truth always remains elusive. Every character in this story is navigating their own fears, hiding their secrets, and managing their relationships, which will surely keep the viewers guessing. In the middle of it all is ACP Sanyukta, played brilliantly by Konkona. She brings a quiet intensity to the character and her instincts and collaborative energy elevate every scene and add an authenticity that anchors the entire narrative. I am looking forward to its release."

Konkona Sensharma on playing the layered ACP Sanyukta Das

"I often gravitate towards strong, female, layered characters and ACP Sanyukta is as strong as they come," declared Konkona. The actor went on to say, "She’s confident at work while juggling the complexities of family life, which makes her journey deeply relatable. Playing her let me tap into both my strengths and vulnerabilities, & Rohan Sippy’s clarity of vision and openness helped bring out the many layers of my character. Search: The Naina Murder Case is a gripping, multilayered story that will keep viewers hooked as they navigate the maze of suspects. I’m especially excited for them to experience Sanyukta’s inner journey — the doubts, the struggles, and the quiet courage that drives her forward."

Adding to that, Sharma said, "On the surface, ACP Jai Kanwal is a young cop eager to prove himself, but the case quickly shakes him up and shows him that the line between right and wrong isn’t always clear. I loved that he isn’t a perfect character; he stumbles and questions himself, and that makes him real and human. Working alongside Konkona Sensharma was inspiring; her focus and depth brought out the best in every scene we shared. The trailer has given a glimpse of the tension and twists, and I’m really eager to see how audiences respond to the full story."
