The trailer of the Vidya Balan-led murder mystery Neeyat was released today. Directed by Anu Menon (Waiting, Shakuntala Devi), Neeyat will be out in cinemas on July 7.

The Abundantia Entertainment-Prime Video co-production has been written by Menon, Priya Venkataraman, Advaita Kala and Girvani Dhyani. In the film, the murder of billionaire Ashish Kapoor is investigated by Mira Rao.

In a press release, Balan said that Mira “is not your everyday, classic detective”. Balan added, “...not only did I get a chance to sink my teeth into an unusual and quirky character but I also got to work with a powerful set of co-actors.”
