'Mandala Murders' plot and Kapoor's role
Kapoor further explained her character's look, saying, "It's T-shirts, pants, shirts, and jeans. It's a style I often see women wear in professional settings." "They rightly aimed to avoid (glamor) and not present it as if a Tiger 4 or a Pathaan film was unfolding. It's about crafting a genuine world and a real police officer." Mandala Murders is set in the fictional town of Charandaspur in Uttar Pradesh and combines elements of mystery and supernatural horror.
