MUMBAI, India—April 30, 2026—Prime Video, India’s most loved entertainment destination, today unveiled the high-octane and adrenaline-filled trailer of its upcoming Prime Original series Lukkhe, a fictional musical action drama, where rap, revenge, and redemption collide. The trailer was unveiled to an electrified live audience in Mumbai in collaboration with its exclusive music streaming partner, Amazon Music, and music label, Warner Music India. Directed by Himank Gaur and produced by Vipul D. Shah and Rajesh Bahl under the banner of Optimystix Entertainment and White Guerrilla LLP, the eight-episode series is created and executive produced by Agrim Joshi and  Debojit Das Purkayastha. Headlined by Raashii Khanna and KING—the acclaimed Indian rapper, songwriter, and singer making his acting debut—Lukkhe also stars  Palak Tiwari (in her streaming debut) and Lakshvir Singh Saran in lead roles, supported by Nakul Roshan Sahdev, Kritika Bharadwaj, Shivankit Parihar, Yograj Singh, and Ayesha Raza Mishra essaying pivotal roles. The series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in Hindi across India and more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on May 8.

The trailer of Lukkhe plunges viewers into a high-octane world, spotlighting MC Badnaam (played by KING) commanding the mic, his fierce rivalry with MC OG (played by Shivankit Parihar), and the emerging love story between Lucky (played by Lakshvir Singh Saran) and Sanober (played by Palak Tiwari). The narrative builds on intensity and emotion as tensions escalate and the worlds of rap, crime, and relationships collide, spiraling into a gripping tale of revenge, redemption, and high-stakes action. Driving this momentum is a pulsating, genre-spanning soundtrack—from hard-hitting rap anthems to emotionally charged melodies—that amplifies every beat, while leaving audiences with a lingering question: in a world where rap aur badla, dono loud hai, who will rise above the noise—and who will be consumed by it?

Himank Gaur, the director of Lukkhe, said, “Lukkhe gave me a chance to dive into a world that’s loud, emotional, and constantly on edge. What stayed with me was how every character is chasing something personal, and music becomes their way of expressing it. Working with this cast, especially KING in his debut, along with Raashii, Lakshvir, and Palak, was incredibly rewarding because they brought honesty that elevated every moment. Collaborating with Prime Video for the first time has been a fantastic experience, and I am excited for audiences to step into the world of Lukkhe when it premieres on Prime Video on May 8.”

Raashii Khanna, who plays Gurbani in Lukkhe, said, “Playing Gurbani in Lukkhe was a really intense and fulfilling experience. What I found most interesting was how her strength comes from something deeply personal, which shapes every decision she makes. It was about finding that balance between vulnerability and grit. Coming back to work with Prime Video after Farzi felt special, and being part of a story that’s so different in tone made it even more exciting. I am really looking forward to audiences experiencing her journey when the series premieres on Prime Video on May 8.”

KING, who plays MC Badnaam in Lukkhe, shared, “Stepping into Lukkhe as MC Badnaam has been a defining moment for me, as it marks my debut as an actor and my first experience in long-format storytelling. What drew me in was how real his hunger and need to be heard felt. It’s something I connect with as an artist. Bringing music into his journey made the experience even more personal. The entire cast and team brought great energy, and I am excited for audiences to see this different side of me.”

Palak Tiwari, who plays Sanober, said, “Sanober’s journey felt very real to me. She’s trying to find her place again, while dealing with both strength and vulnerability. I really enjoyed exploring those emotions, especially how music becomes her support through everything she goes through. It was also my first time working with Prime Video, and the whole experience felt new and creatively satisfying. Being part of a story that has both intense and heartfelt moments, along with a team that brought so much honesty to it, made this journey truly memorable.”

Lakshvir Singh Saran, who plays Lucky, shared, “Lucky is someone who’s trying to move forward while still carrying the weight of his past, and that push-pull made him really interesting to explore. I enjoyed getting into his quieter moments just as much as the intensity around him. There’s a sincerity to his journey that I hope people connect with. Working with this team made the process very collaborative and rewarding, and I am excited for audiences to step into his world and see how his story unfolds when the series premieres on Prime Video on May 8.”
