“TV shows take a lot of efforts and resources to be made. OTT platforms are offering wonderful opportunities to tell great stories in an episodic format, I thank Disney+ Hotstar for the same as well. The show is based on a work of Malladi Venkata Krishna Murthy. I am a big fan of Malladi garu’s works and we have acquired the rights of his few novels for the future too. 9 Hours won’t disappoint you,” Krish said.

Preethi Asrani shared that she bagged a special role in the show and thanked Krish for casting her in it. “Every character in the show is very well-etched and the technical aspects, including the cinematography, editing and music will stand out. Benarjee said that 9 Hours gave him the satisfaction of associating with Krish, more so because he was inspired to work with him after he watched Gamyam.

Madhu Shalini is cast as a journalist in the show and the actress revealed she’ll be an integral part of the crime scene. She promises that the vintage appeal of 9 Hours will allure viewers and expressed her happiness in being part of a show created by Krish.
