During the shoot of the segment, Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa, in Ray (2021), director Abhishek Chaubey casually told Manoj Bajpayee that he was planning a series. “I already said yes in my head,” grins the actor, who was confident that the director would have something novel up his sleeve. Sure enough, Killer Soup, the filmmaker’s maiden web series, is as twisted as they come. The Netflix black comedy revolves around Konkona Sensharma’s character, who murders her shrewd husband and puts her lookalike lover as the stand-in, both essayed by Bajpayee.
