The show, produced by Harsh Mainra, Jyoti Chauhan, and Prashant Shinde under Versatile Motion Pictures, is streaming on Amazon MX Player, and is making waves for its unique exploration of dating apps and cybercrime.
When asked about his initial reaction to the name Swipe Crime, Arun shares, “When I first heard the name Swipe Crime, it immediately felt modern, relevant, and intriguing, yet also dark and thrilling. The title itself gives you a hint that the show revolves around dating apps, but with a twist—cybercrime. It dives into the darker side that’s rarely discussed, highlighting the risks and complexities these platforms bring.”
Arun plays Brian, a fun-loving and carefree character who evolves as the story progresses. “Brian is someone you can’t ignore—he’s the heart of the show.

In a world dominated by social media and dating apps, Swipe Crime tackles timely issues. Arun believes it’s a relevant story, saying, “These platforms often lead to unexpected situations, and the show sheds light on the experiences of people who may have suffered because of them. It’s a reminder to prioritize safety in today’s digital age.”
Arun also reveals his personal connection with Brian, noting the challenges he faced while portraying the character. “I’m actually quite shy in real life, so playing Brian was a challenge. But as an actor, these challenges are what you live for. It was a crazy experience, and I’m grateful for it.”
With a stellar cast and a storyline that dives deep into the consequences of digital life, Swipe Crime is not just a thrilling watch but also a much-needed conversation starter about the dangers of online platforms.
