Actors Share Details on Their Characters
Speaking about the project on her birthday, Keerthy said the teaser launch made the occasion special and described Bhavani as one of the most distinctive characters she has played.“The love I receive from the audience every year makes this day incredibly meaningful, and being able to celebrate it by unveiling the teaser of Akka, a project so close to my heart, feels truly special. Bhavani is one of the most unique and memorable characters I have had the opportunity to play,” she said, as per a release.
Radhika Apte added,“It's wonderful that the date announcement and the teaser drop of Akka have coincided with Keerthy's birthday. I am sure it is going to be lucky for us. Rudra is a fascinating character, driven by her own convictions and an instinct to challenge the world around her. What drew me to the series was the complexity of its characters and the tensions that emerge from their differing perspectives.”
Premiere Date and Production Details
Alongside Keerthy and Radhika, the series also stars Tanvi Azmi. Aditya Chopra, Yogendra Mogre and Akshaye Widhani serve as executive producers. 'Akka' will premiere on Netflix on October 30. (ANI)
