Priyanka Chopra Chopra is the executive-producer of Evil Eye, one out of eight interlinked films that constitute the upcoming original OTT series, Welcome To The Blumhouse.
The eight films, to be streamed on Amazon Prime Video, will have a common theme centred on family and love as redemptive or destructive forces.
The first two films, Veena Sud’s The Lie and Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr’s Black Box, will drop on October 6. These will be followed by Priyanka’s Evil Eye, and Nocturne, written and directed by filmmaker Zu Quirke, on October 13.
The rest of the slate will be unveiled in 2021.
Based on playwright Madhuri Shekar’s award-winning production, Evil Eye is directed by Elan Dassani and Rajeev Dassani, and stars Sarita Choudhury, Sunita Mani, Omar Maskati, and Bernard White. It shows how a seemingly perfect romance turns into a nightmare when a mother becomes convinced that her daughter’s new boyfriend has a dark connection to her own past.
