Simply called Ray, the anthology is written by Niren Bhatt and Siraj Ahmed, with directors including Srijit Mukherji, Vasan Bala and Abhishek Chaubey. It stars Manoj Bajpayee, Gajraj Rao, Ali Fazal, Shweta Basu Prasad, Anindita Bose, Kay Kay Menon, Bidita Bag, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Harshvarrdhan Kapoor, Radhika Madan, Chandan Roy Sanyal and Akansha Ranjan Kapoor.

Produced by Viacom 18’s Tipping Point, with Sayantan Mukherjee serving as showrunner, the series will premiere on Netflix on 25th June. Here’s a trailer:
