According to sources, an OTT giant has already reached out to Fernandez as they find her “insights are critical.” “She is the only star who can speak firsthand about what really went down. Her candour could make or break the storytelling.” The actor, for her part, is said to be “weighing the opportunity,” with close friends reporting she’s “careful about how her narrative will be framed.” Behind the scenes, development is reportedly being spearheaded by a sharp research team. “They are mapping out a narrative that’s part psychological thriller and part a societal case study. Their plan is to juxtapose Sukesh’s courtroom drama with his alleged methods like wiretapping, high-end bribes, and shadowy real estate deals.”
