After his film Blink (2024), Srinidhi Bengaluru returns with yet another novel concept—this time in a mini-series format. Titled Jerax (an accented take on “Xerox”), the web series presents a quirky spin on a sci-fi idea.

Set in the fictional small town of Rayadurga, the story revolves around Prakasha (Nagabhushana), an orphan who runs his uncle’s photocopy shop. The store houses a single, barely functional machine. However, one night—owing to a peculiar planetary alignment and Prakasha’s childhood connection—the machine begins to do more than just copy documents. It gains the ability to create real-life duplicates of people whose photographs are placed inside it.
