'London Files' trailer: Arjun Rampal is forced to revisit past
London Files trailer is here! Starring Arjun Rampal as detective Om Singh and Purab Kohli as a man whose daughter is missing, the well-crafted thriller is set to premiere on April 21 on Voot Select. The trailer has come a fortnight after a teaser was dropped. The investigative thriller has been directed by Sachin Pathak (2018 outing Rangbaaz) and produced by Jar Pictures.
Why does this story matter?
London Files is Rampal's second web series after The Final Call. The latter hit ZEE5 on 22 February 2019. Its second season is currently being written. Also, London Files marks the reunion of Rampal and Kohli after their impressive films, Rock On!! (2008) and its sequel Rock On 2 (2016). But, unlike in the films, London Files might pit them against each other.
What does the trailer show?
In the trailer, we see Singh coming face-to-face with the demons of his repressed past while investigating a missing person case. The intense line, "Only after absolute chaos comes absolute silence," gets repeated here, too, and it seems this quote will be the theme of the web series. Rampal's dominating presence and performance establish his maturity and growth as an actor.
Here's what Rampal said of the character
For Rampal, London Files is unlike any other project he has done before. "Detective Om's character is unpredictable, flawed, and complex, and I must admit, portraying the character had an impact on me personally," Rampal said. Meanwhile, Sapna Pabbi makes an appearance, too. "London Files is a high-octane suspense thriller, more like a maze with mysterious characters and an unpredictable twist!" she said.

Cast and synopsis
Apart from Rampal, Pabbi, and Kohli, the show will also feature Gopal Dutt, Medha Rana, Sagar Arya, and Eva Jane Willis in prominent roles. With a synopsis that reads, "A missing person's case gets uglier when a detective's life gets tangled with London's deepest and darkest secrets. What happens when the truth comes out?" London Files has surely raised our hopes.
