Radhika Apte to clash with Keerthy Suresh in revenge thriller series Akka

The renowned film studio Yash Raj Films' streaming production arm YRF Entertainment will be spearheading the new series Akka starring Radhika Apte and Keerthy Suresh Maamannan. The two actors will be pitted against each other in the upcoming edgy revenge thriller. Dharmaraj Shetty will helm the project.

Akka is one of the biggest series to be launched by YRF Entertainment

A source told IANS, “Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte are considered two of the most gifted female actors in India today. They are incredibly natural artists and hailed as sheer tour de force on screen having delivered incredible performances project after project! So, the fact that Keerthy and Radhika have been pitted against each other makes Akka one of the most intriguing streaming projects being made in the country currently!"

"The project is being helmed by debutant writer and director Dharmaraj Shetty, a disruptive creative mind that has been recently found by Aditya Chopra. His vision for Akka grabbed Aditya's attention and the project was greenlit instantly with a brief from Adi to make Akka one of the biggest tentpole series that YRF Entertainment will ever make."

"Every detail of this project will be kept under wraps purposely by YRF to build intrigue around this series," the source added.

YRF Entertainment's other projects 

YRF Entertainment's second series is Mandala Murders, a multi-season series billed as a gritty crime thriller. It stars Vaani Kapoor, and Vaibhav Raj Gupta (of Gullak fame). Surveen Chawla (Decoupled) and Jameel Khan (Gullak) are in prominent roles. The series is currently in production.

“YRF Entertainment wants to produce fresh clutter-breaking projects that can contribute to shaping the content landscape of India. With each project, it is stamping its intent to tell incredible Indian stories to a global audience at a scale that no one has ever seen before.”

"Success of The Railway Men, which has become a runaway hit and has also got unanimously positive reviews & word of mouth endorsement from the audience, proves this," the source further said.
