Amazon MX Player - Amazon’s free video streaming service is all set to present their latest crime drama - Chidiya Udd. The show explores the unknown territories of the underworld of Mumbai, inspired by Aabid Surti's novel Cages. This intense series exposes the raw, unbridled truth of the city's underbelly, where the lines between crime and survival are blurred. Starring Jackie Shroff, Bhoomika Meena, and Sikandar Kher, with masterminds in the director's chair of Ravi Jadhav and producers Harman Baweja and Vicky Bahri, Chidiya Udd promises to be a heart-stopping journey through the darkest alleys of the city.

Known to the world for his scintillating performances Sikandar Kher steps in, depicting the character of Akram Khan, son of Qadir Khan, the be-feared gangster of Mumbai's underground. Fired up by raging ambition and an insatiable hunger for power, he is hell-bent on taking the throne of Kamathipura, but his ascent involves some very treacherous inner demons and explosive conflicts. As he walks through the perilous landscape of his complicated relationship with his father, Qadir Khan, Akram must face the dark depths of his own psyche, where insecurity, vulnerability, and seething resentment against Babu Rao simmer just below the surface. With every step, Akram's quest for validation and supremacy pushes him further down a hazardous path, so much so that he tests his limit of will, loyalty, and his own soul.

Reflecting on his character and the series, Sikandar Kher shared, “Akram Khan is a man deeply shaped by living in the shadow of his father, which has left him deeply insecure, as he’s never truly received the kind of love or softness a son craves. That insecurity fuels aggression and jealousy, but beneath it all, there are moments of vulnerability, which add depth to his persona. Bringing Akram to life was an intense and rewarding experience, thanks to our incredible director, Ravi Jadhav, who made every moment on set a joy. I was fortunate to share the screen with incredible co-actors—Jaggu Dada, whose wisdom and warmth feel like a tight hug; Mayur, a powerhouse of talent; Bhoomika, who is pure fire on set; and Mitaji, whose effortless brilliance elevated every scene.”

Chidiya Udd is now streaming on Amazon MX Player, available through its apps on mobile, Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
