Mumbai, India – 12th May 2026: Amazon MX Player, India’s leading free, premium, ad-supported video streaming service, today unveiled the gripping trailer of its upcoming survival thriller Vimal Khanna. Adapted from the iconic universe ‘The Vimal Series’, by Surender Mohan Pathak, brings one of Hindi literature’s most enduring characters to screen. The show is headlined by Sunny Hinduja in the titular role, alongside Isha Talwar and Tara Alisha Berry. Set to premiere on May 15, the series plunges into a tense, unpredictable world where identity is fragile, trust is dangerous, and every move comes at a cost.
The trailer sets the tone for a relentless survival thriller, as Vimal Khanna finds himself constantly on the run, pulled deeper into a dangerous spiral of betrayal, deception, and survival, where every escape only pushes him further in. As secrets begin to unfold and hidden motives come to light, one question begins to linger – Vimal Khanna bachega ya marega? Will he find a way out or get pulled further into the spiral?
Wrongfully accused and stripped of his identity, Vimal’s fight for innocence soon turns into a battle against a system determined to destroy him. As control slips, every move feels anticipated and every escape comes at a cost, pulling him deeper into a complex web. With its raw fiction edge and emotional intensity, Vimal Khanna builds a gritty, urban world driven by paranoia, shifting loyalty, and the instinct to survive.
Amogh Dusad, Head of Content, Amazon MX Player, shared, “Bringing Surender Mohan Pathak’s, The Vimal Series, to screen has been an exciting creative journey for us at Amazon MX Player. It’s a character and a world that has lived in the imagination of readers for years and translating that into a visual narrative comes with both responsibility and scale. What makes this series stand out is the way it retains the essence of the original while shaping it into something cinematic, immersive, and engaging for today’s audiences. We’re excited to bring this world to audiences across the country on Amazon MX Player.”
Speaking about the show and his character, Sunny Hinduja said, “Working on Vimal Khanna with Amazon MX Player has been an immersive experience. Vimal is not a conventional hero; he’s an ordinary man pushed into extraordinary circumstances, where survival becomes instinct. What drew me to the character is his internal conflict, the constant struggle between holding on to his identity and adapting to a system that’s working against him. There’s a saying “Ye Alag Mitti Ka Bana Hai”, is apt for Vimal and his journey is what makes him both vulnerable and powerful.”
Renowned pulp fiction author Surender Mohan Pathak added, “Vimal Khanna has been a character that readers have connected with for years, and his journey has always been about navigating a world that constantly challenges his identity and sense of self. Seeing this story take shape on screen is both exciting and meaningful. I’m excited for audiences to now experience this world in a new way through Amazon MX Player.”
Vimal Khanna will stream for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player from 15th May, available across mobile devices, Connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, JioTV and Airtel Xstream
