At Prime Video’s high-profile ‘It Starts Here’ event, the streaming giant pulled back the curtain on its 2026 content slate, highlighting a major expansion for Hrithik Roshan’s HRX Films (a division of FilmKraft Productions). Backed by Hrithik and Eshaan Roshan, the studio is set to deliver two starkly different but equally intriguing originals: the investigative series Storm and the high-tension thriller Mess.
Storm: A Web Series of Deception and Secrets
Created and directed by Ajitpal Singh, Storm is a gritty web series that centers on a “sustainable housing” project that is eventually revealed to be a massive scam. The narrative follows five women who find themselves entangled in this complex web of fraud, forcing their own hidden secrets and personal struggles to the surface.

Production Spotlight
Both projects signify a bold step into the digital space for the Roshan family. While Hrithik and Eshaan Roshan serve as producers for both, Rajesh A Krishnan also joins the production team for Mess. These titles are expected to be major pillars of Prime Video’s 2026 lineup, blending social commentary with edge-of-the-seat suspense.
