“At Prime Video, our mission is to cater to the diverse tastes and prefernces of our customers. In recent years,  we have observed a significant interest in genres like horror and suspense, both from within India and internationally,” said Aparna Purohit, head of Originals, India & SEA, Prime Video. 

"The Village holds a special place in our repertoire. Drawing inspiration from a graphic novel, the series presents a  unique storyline that hasn’t yet been explored in the Indian horror entertainment landscape. Milind has brought his vision to life in the most magnificent way which is evident in the outstanding performances of the cast. The Village creates a visually striking and atmospheric world, filled with suspense, supernatural thrills, a compelling family drama, promising a captivating experience  for the audiences.”

“It has been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Prime Video and bring our labor of love, The Village to global audiences,” said Milind Rau, creative producer and director. “I believe a good horror series or movie is one that can leave you terrified to step out alone at night, where the sound of a twig snapping makes your heart skip a beat, where shadows appear to come alive around you. And I want to bring that kind of viscerally scary content to those who enjoy this genre. With The Village, I believe each one of us—the cast and crew—have managed to bring a show that will be enjoyed not only by horror genre fanatics but also everyone who appreciates the unique storyline and cinematic excellence that it offers.”
