Following the very popular genre mix of forensic/serial killer, Akhil Paul and Anas Khan co-write and co-direct “Forensic” a by-the-book whodunnit thriller who is currently available on the Netflix catalogue.
Scrupulous and workaholic chief investigating officer Rithika Xavier (Mamta Mohandas) is in charge of the murder investigation of an 8-year-old girl, vanished after a dance class and daughter of a middle-class local family, but when a second girl disappear, the hypothesis of a serial killer in town becomes a certainty. Rithika is determined to create a dedicated team for the purpose of capturing the killer as soon as possible, but the police force is too busy, and her boss can only allow her to borrow their medico-legal advisor Samuel John Kattukaran (Tovino Thomas). Not a good start as Rithika and Sam know each other from some past painful family issues and they are not very comfortable working as a team.

Hong Kong’s TV industry has managed to keep churning out new episodes and even some new series, despite the city’s coronavirus restrictions. Shows have had to adopt clever working practices, and in some cases modify their story lines, but they have emerged better than the territory’s feature film sector, where production remains largely halted.
The production charge has been led by local channel ViuTV, which is backed by Pccw and is a sister company to pay-tv cluster Now TV and multi-territory Asian Ott platform Viu, and by Hong Kong’s traditional TV market leader Tvb.
ViuTV’s drama series “Single Dad” is one of the new titles that has started shooting recently. Camera began to roll in mid-April, delayed just by a few weeks. “We had to wait for the infection rate to drop to a certain level,” said the show’s writer-producer Peter Tsi.
