- Anirudh Pisharody has wrapped a lead role in indie thriller Chronos, directed by Gianinni Semedo Moreira and shot on location in Greece.
- Pisharody, known for Netflix's Never Have I Ever and procedural 9-1-1, stars opposite Tongayi Chirisa (Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches) as co-lead.
- Chronos follows a father whose family disappears on a Greek beach; an ancient device lures him to a hidden island trial where he partners with a fallen god of time and is hunted by the goddess of fate.
- The father must reach Olympus before the gods erase the people he loves, according to the film's synopsis.
- Eleni Sotiropoulou and Lisa Morrell round out the cast, with Samantha Gao (Smoking Tigers, Better Life) producing alongside Moreira.
- Pisharody is repped by ColorCreative and Talent Works; Chirisa by Innovative and Industry Entertainment; and Moreira by Granderson Des Rochers.
Why it matters: Chronos gives Pisharody a mythology-driven lead role outside his established TV profile (Never Have I Ever, 9-1-1), while giving Chirisa a feature film credit alongside his Anne Rice universe work — both wrapped before any release date, distributor, or sales deal has been announced, meaning casting is the only concrete news here.
