The rise of regional over-the-top (OTT) platforms has revolutionized the Indian digital entertainment landscape, bringing gritty, real-world stories to the forefront. Among the most impactful releases in Tamil digital cinema is Auto Shankar , a true-crime thriller series that debuted on ZEE5. The series chronicles the chilling life and crimes of Gowri Shankar, a notorious serial killer who terrorized Madras (now Chennai) in the late 1980s.
