Leading South Indian actress Shruti Haasan celebrated her birthday on Friday and also surprised fans with a big announcement on her next project. Currently starring alongside Prabhas in the highly-anticipated Kannada-Telugu action thriller Salaar under KGF films fame Prashanth Neel's direction, the actress has announced that her upcoming venture is an eight-episode psychological thriller web series titled Bestseller and will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on February 18.

Bestseller will see Shruti Haasan alongside iconic Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty, with the ensemble cast featuring names like Arjan Bajwa, Gauahar Khan, Satyajeet Dubey, and Sonalee Kulkarni, in pivotal roles. Directed by Mukul Abhyankar and written by Anvita Dutt and Althea Kaushal under Siddharth Malhotra’s Alchemy Production LLP banner, the upcoming Amazon Original series will be revolving around the lives of two strangers, whose lives collide, leading to their hidden motivations, including ambitions getting disclosed. Speaking about the series, Aparna Purohit, Head of India Originals at Amazon Prime Video, India in a press statement, said, Bestseller is a "fast-paced, gritty psychological thriller that will pull viewers deep into a vortex of flawed human nature and leave them hooked. It’s a complex world where nothing is quite as it seems, and the story gets darker."

The Bestseller first look poster shared by Shruti Haasan shows her standing looking rather aggressive alongside Gauahar and Satyajeet Dubey, while Mithun is seated in the backdrop of a pile of books that are stacked in an uneven manner. Sharing the poster, the actress wrote, "Yahan kitaab aur kirdar dono ki hai apni hi kahani #BestsellerOnPrime, new series, Feb 18." This eight-episode psychological thriller will premiere on February 18. The upcoming series has been bankrolled by Siddharth Malhotra’s Alchemy Production LLP.
