Produced by Yash Raj Films, Akka Features Talented Leads in a Riveting Storyline
The excitement surrounding the upcoming revenge thriller series, Akka, has reached new heights with the release of its teaser during Netflix’s Next on Netflix event. Scheduled to premiere in 2025, the series boasts an intriguing narrative that delves into themes of power, betrayal, and revenge, propelled by the performances of acclaimed actresses Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte.
Set against the backdrop of the 1980s in the fictional city of Pernuru in South India, Akka explores the dynamic between powerful women in a world dominated by crime. The plot centers around a group of gangster queens led by Keerthy Suresh’s character, whose authority is challenged by a fierce newcomer played by Radhika Apte. The teaser presents a vivid portrayal of this conflict, showcasing Keerthy’s leadership of an all-female gang and the aggressive tactics of Apte’s character, who seeks to undermine both Akka and its illicit gold-smuggling operations.
The teaser is packed with intense visuals of their looming turf war, where gang members, donned in traditional attire, prepare for battle, reflecting the stakes of the narrative. With alternating scenes of high-octane action sequences and gripping confrontations, the anticipation for Akka escalates.
Written and directed by Dharmaraj Shetty, Akka is spearheaded by producer Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films (YRF) Entertainment, with the collaborative effort of Yogendra Mogre and Akshaye Widhani. Notably, veteran actress Tanvi Azmi also plays a significant role within the series, promising a multifaceted portrayal of its characters.
Radhika Apte marks her return to the screen following the birth of her daughter in December, portraying the clever and determined antagonist aiming to dismantle the established power structure. Keerthy Suresh, who attracted attention with her Bollywood debut in Baby John, expressed her enthusiasm for the project during the Mumbai event. “Akka is an entirely different world that you wouldn’t have seen before. It’s a story of fierce, powerful women coming together. This is a show about strength and resilience,” she remarked.
The teaser concludes with a tantalizing glimpse of the inevitable confrontation between these two potent forces, positioning Akka as a series to watch for audiences in 2025.
