Producer Karan Johar has dropped three teasers for Dharmatic Entertainment’s upcoming crime thriller series Gyaarah Gyaarah, the official remake of the hit Korean show Signal, ahead of its August 9 premiere on ZEE5.
“Determined and stubborn, our officers are prepared to solve cases—even if it means rewriting the past,” wrote Karan, sharing the teasers on Instagram on Monday.
The teasers show Raghav Juyal’s Yug Arya, Kritika Kamra’s Vamika Rawat and Dhairya Karwa’s Shaurya Attwal — all cops in Uttarakhand police — investigating a serial killing case which has remained unsolved since 1990.
The first video shows Yug supporting a woman who is protesting outside a police station. Her nine-year-old daughter Aditi was murdered 15 years ago. The following scenes reveal how a walkie-talkie allows Yug to mysteriously establish contact with ASI Shaurya Attwal precisely at 11.11 pm each night.
Yug discovers that Shaurya had saved Saroj Pandey, one of the targets of the infamous serial killer, on November 9, 1990. However, the incident had other victims, and the case has remained unresolved for over two decades.
Meanwhile, a skeleton is found, which Yug suspects to be that of Raghav Nautiyal, a key figure in the unsolved case, and he requests a DNA test to confirm his speculation. The first teaser ends with glimpses of several bodies, including that of a little girl.
The second teaser opens with inspector Vamika searching for a common link among the victims of the 1990 serial killing case. Her investigation takes her to a clockmaker, who tells her that only the present moment holds significance, as the past is merely a memory and the future is nothing more than imagination.
At the beginning of the third and final teaser, a woman recounts how inspector Shaurya Attwal had saved her life in 1990. As the investigation takes a grim turn, Shaurya and Yug, who are from different time periods, connect each night at 11.11 via a walkie-talkie to uncover the dark secrets of the past and solve the case.
Directed by Umesh Bist, Gyaarah Gyaarah is the fourth official remake of the Korean show Signal.
