The Hunt For Veerappan
About the project
The Hunt for Veerappan (Netflix, 2023) is a four-part true-crime docuseries from Awedacious Originals, directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, about Veerappan, the poacher turned bandit who ruled the jungles of South India and, for 17 years, was the target of India's longest and costliest manhunt.
It tells his story through his wife, members of his gang and officers from the Special Task Force that hunted him. The opening plays as a prologue: smoky CG scenes of guns, maps and forest cut against archival news footage, with subtitled voices running over the top, landing on the red title card.
