An anthology covering diverse genres like romance, drama, satire, and humour, etc, X-Ray is a tribute to Satyajit Ray’s remarkable skills as a storyteller. It’s been planned as a two-season show full of thrills, and twists and turns, with the first season streaming in mid-2021. 
Srijit Mukherji, Abhishek Chaubey, and Vasan Bala have come on board to direct the anthology while the fourth director is still being finalized. Viacom18 Studios, under its digital content arm Tipping Point, is making this project. ‘X-Ray: Selected Satyajit Shorts’, the shooting of this project’s first short film was just completed in March when the coronavirus-induced lockdown disrupted the production. With situations gradually improving and productions resuming now, the makers of this multi-genre web project are also gearing up to resume the shooting and have already locked the lead cast. Srijit Mukherji is directing two films in the anthology that will have a total of five stories — each up to one hour.
His first short film is a psychological drama that stars Kay Kay Menon, Bidita Bag and Rajesh Sharma as leads. His second short film in the anthology is a thriller and Mukherji has roped in the star of the moment Ali Fazal. The actor who’s awaiting the premiere of Amazon Prime’s Mirzapur 2 this week will be seen alongside The Taskent Files fame Shweta Basu Prasad in this adventurous drama.
‘X-Ray’ is based on Satyajit Ray’s tales
