In Cheekatilo, Sobhita plays Sandhya, a true-crime podcaster whose pursuit of justice pulls her into the dark underbelly of Hyderabad. What begins as an investigation takes a disturbing turn after the mysterious death of her intern, pushing Sandhya into a violent maze of secrets, predators and moral ambiguity.

Directed by Sharan Kopishetty and produced by Suresh Productions under veteran producer D. Suresh Babu, the film presents Hyderabad through a starkly different lens. Instead of its familiar urban bustle, the city emerges as a landscape where hidden crimes simmer beneath everyday life.

The screenplay, written by Chandra Pemmaraju and Kopishetty, leans heavily on character-driven storytelling. Sobhita’s Sandhya anchors the narrative as the film blends psychological tension with procedural investigation, tapping into the rising global appetite for true-crime narratives.

The ensemble cast includes Viswadev Rachakonda, Chaitanya Visalakshmi, Esha Chawla, Jhansi, Aamani, and Vadlamani Srinivas in key roles.

Positioned as a taut crime-suspense drama, Cheekatilo promises an edge-of-the-seat experience, exploring obsession, justice and the psychological cost of chasing truth in a city that refuses to reveal its darkest corners easily.

Sobhita was last seen in Love Sitara, currently streaming on ZEE5.
