Indian Predator The Butcher of Delhi Trailer: Netflix’s latest crime documentary series is as unnerving as it gets

The trailer for Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi has been released. On Tuesday, Netflix shared a nearly 1.5-minute trailer for its true-crime documentary series to give us an idea of what to expect from the hard-hitting original. The Indian Predator trailer begins with a chilling voiceover from an unidentified individual who claims to have kept a corpse outside Tihar prison. He continues to challenge those in power by daring them to catch him. Attention then turns to a series of biting interviews, which reveal that the individual in question “knows a little about the system” and hates the police.
The trailer for The Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi ends with a series of unnerving shots, which give us a glimpse of the serial killer without revealing much about his physical appearance. Produced by Vice India, Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi is directed by Ayesha Sood with Srusti Jain and Nandita Gupta serving as series producer and creative producer, respectively.
Sood said in a prepared statement, “The non-fiction space in India is constantly evolving and I am so happy to be a part of it to create a gripping story. As a filmmaker, I want to learn something from every project I develop, and understanding this story and the ensuing investigation led me to discover a lot about human psychology and the justice system as well! I look forward to presenting through this docu-series on Netflix, a case that should have shaken the country but which was missed.
When Indian Predator was first announced last March, Sood was one of four directors – alongside Umesh Kulkarni, Ashwin Shetty and Dheeraj Jindal – attached to the docu-series. India Today was also mentioned as a production house. But the trailer announcement only mentions Sood and Vice. Gadgets 360 has learned that’s because The Butcher of Delhi is the first of three parts that make up Indian Predator. More will follow shortly after release.
Samira Kanwar, vice president of content for Vice APAC, thanked Netflix for giving them a “supportive creative home” to explore the non-fiction space with Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi: “India has always had the potential for a thriving non-fiction content scene that is finally gaining momentum like never before. We’re thrilled to partner with Netflix, home to some of the best documentaries from India and around the world, to bring the stories of some of India’s most ruthless serial killers to life. We are grateful to Netflix for providing us with a platform to tell these stories and for being such a supportive creative house.
Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi debuts July 20 on Netflix, five days after the Jitendra Kumar Jaadugar-directed sports drama film, which premieres July 15. Indian Predator will be followed by Masaba Masaba season 2 later in July.
