Ali Fazal and Sonali Bendre to star in web series based on Ranga-Billa case directed by Paatal Lok’s Prosit Roy.

Actors Ali Fazal and Sonali Bendre are coming together for a powerful new web series based on one of India’s most shocking real-life crime cases — the infamous Ranga-Billa murder case. The series, which has already started filming in Delhi, is being directed by Prosit Roy, who previously helmed the critically acclaimed series Paatal Lok.

The upcoming show is said to focus on the real events surrounding the tragic kidnapping and murder of two young siblings, Geeta and Sanjay Chopra, in 1978. This horrifying incident deeply impacted the people of Delhi and changed the course of the city’s legal and social history.

The crime involved two men, Kuljeet Singh (known as Ranga) and Jasbir Singh (known as Billa), who originally planned to steal a car. However, when they found the children inside the car, they kidnapped them instead. What followed was a brutal and heartbreaking crime that shocked the nation. The case made headlines across India and led to widespread protests, demanding justice for the innocent victims.

This upcoming web series aims to show the full impact of the case — not just the crime itself but also how it affected the people of Delhi and the changes it led to in laws related to child safety and kidnapping. While the creators of the show have not officially revealed the storyline, sources close to the project have said that it closely follows the real-life case.

A source involved in the production shared, “The team has been doing deep research into the case for several months. They want to present the events as they really happened, while also showing the emotional and social effect it had on Delhi. The shooting is happening across different locations in the capital, and the subject is being handled with care and sensitivity.”

This marks the first time the Ranga-Billa case is being turned into a scripted series for a digital platform. With talented actors like Ali Fazal and Sonali Bendre in lead roles and an experienced director like Prosit Roy at the helm, the series is already generating buzz.

Ali Fazal is known for his strong performances in both films and web series, while Sonali Bendre is making a powerful return to fiction after winning hearts for years on the big and small screen. Their collaboration on this intense crime drama is expected to bring a fresh perspective to a case that remains unforgettable in Indian history.

The series does not have an official release date yet, and more details are expected to be announced soon. But one thing is clear — this show will take viewers into one of Delhi’s darkest chapters and shed light on a case that changed the way the country viewed crime and justice.
