Netflix recently dropped the trailer of its upcoming horror-thriller, Betaal, and since then, it has grabbed the attention of horror-thriller fans. Directed by Patrick Graham and Nikhil Mahajan, Betaal tells the story of a remote village which quickly becomes the arena of a breathless battle when a two-century-old East India Company Colonel, infected with the Betaal's curse, and his battalion of blood-thirsty zombie redcoats are released from their tomb - attacking anything with a pulse. Talented actress Manjiri Pupala will be seen essaying a uniquely pivotal role in the series, alongside Viineet Kumar, Aahana Kumra, Suchitra Pillai and Jitendra Joshi.
Manjiri has been working as a theatre actor for more than a decade in Marathi, Hindi and English plays in Mumbai. She has been part of notable play productions at Prithvi Theatre in the past and her fans are super excited to witness another side of her personality in Betaal, as the strong and powerful Puniya.
