Yash Raj Films’ streaming production arm, YRF Entertainment, is set to deliver its next major project, a gripping revenge thriller titled “Akka,” featuring a clash of talents between two highly acclaimed actresses, Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte. This intriguing period thriller is poised to be a clash of titans, showcasing the prowess of these two exceptionally gifted performers on the Indian stage.
According to insider information, Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte are regarded as two of the most natural and formidable female actors in India today. Both have consistently delivered outstanding performances, establishing themselves as forces to be reckoned with in the industry. The decision to cast them against each other in “Akka” adds a layer of excitement, making it one of the most compelling streaming projects currently in production in the country.
The series is under the creative guidance of debutant writer and director Dharmaraj Shetty, whose innovative vision caught the attention of Aditya Chopra. Adi’s directive to Shetty was clear – to make “Akka” one of YRF Entertainment’s most significant tentpole series to date. The studio is deliberately keeping every aspect of the project confidential to build anticipation and intrigue around this groundbreaking series.
YRF Entertainment has already tasted global success with its first series, “The Railway Men,” which is currently making waves as one of the Top 10 shows worldwide on Netflix. The series pays tribute to the unsung heroes of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy and stars R. Madhavan, Kay Kay Menon, Divyenndu Sharma, and Babil Khan.
Their second venture, “Mandala Murders,” is a multi-season crime thriller featuring Vaani Kapoor in her streaming debut, along with Vaibhav Raj Gupta. With Surveen Chawla and Jameel Khan in prominent roles, the series is currently in production.
YRF Entertainment aims to produce groundbreaking, original content that contributes to shaping India’s content landscape. The success of “The Railway Men” has solidified its commitment to presenting extraordinary Indian stories to a global audience, setting new benchmarks in scale and quality.
