Regena Cassandrra shares excitement as she headlines Prime Video’s Tamil crime thriller inspired by Mare of EasttownThe series marks a significant step in Regena Cassandrra’s OTT journey, as she takes on the central role in a Tamil web series for the first time. Known for her work across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema, the actor is said to be playing a complex, emotionally layered character, with the narrative focusing strongly on psychological depth and investigative tension rather than a conventional procedural structure.

Regena will be seen portraying a cop in the series, a role that places her at the heart of the show’s unfolding mystery. Confirming her involvement, the actor told Bollywood Hungama, “It’s an exciting new venture for me headlining a Prime Video Series in Tamil. We’ve already started shooting for it and I’m super excited for the audiences to watch me play a cop in Tamil this time.”

The project will be directed by Nithin Lukose, the Kerala-based filmmaker and sound designer whose debut feature Paka (The River of Blood) earned recognition on the international festival circuit. Paka, which was presented by Anurag Kashyap, was noted for its atmospheric storytelling and immersive sound design—elements that are expected to shape the tone of this upcoming series as well.

With Lukose at the helm, the Prime Video show is expected to lean heavily into mood, internal conflict, and layered character arcs. His background in sound design is also likely to play a key role in creating a tense and immersive viewing experience, aligning with the series’ grounded and introspective approach to crime storytelling.

While the title, supporting cast, and release timeline are yet to be officially announced, the collaboration between Regena Cassandrra and Nithin Lukose has already generated considerable buzz within industry circles. The series also reflects Prime Video’s ongoing focus on regional-language originals led by strong creative voices and performance-driven narratives.

More details about the Tamil thriller are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks as production progresses.
