Vicky Kaushal offered Ramesh Taurani’s next film?

Keeping aside the debacle of his 2018 film Race 3, producer Ramesh Taurani is reportedly gearing up to commence work on his next production offering. If fresh reports are to be believed, National Award-winning actor Vicky Kaushal might come onboard to play the male lead in the yet to be titled film.

A well-placed source informs an entertainment portal that the forthcoming film is an action thriller and Vicky Kaushal will take the final call on it once he gets the complete narration. “It is a film in the action thriller space that has been offered to Vicky. The actor met the producer while he was promoting for Bhoot and listened to the idea. Vicky and his team have asked for the whole script and are awaiting a narration that will mostly happen over a video call now. Vicky will decide on whether to take the film up, once he gets the full narration done,” divulges the source.

Though nothing much is known about the project at the moment, buzz has it that renowned filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, who has teamed up with Varun Dhawan for his next film Ekkis, will direct it. A couple of months ago, Ramesh Taurani had confirmed that he was set to join hands with the Andhadhun (2018) helmer for a film. Looks like it is the same project Vicky Kaushal has been approached for. It is going to be really interesting to see if the Masaan (2015) actor will greenlight it or not.

Meanwhile, Vicky Kaushal has his plate full with several interesting projects, including Udham Singh, Takht and an untitled biopic based on the life of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. He is in talks for some other projects as well, but those are yet to be announced officially.

'Akka' review: Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte’s battle exposes an uncomfortable truth about power

Highlights

  • Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte lead Netflix's five-episode crime drama set in a fictional south Indian region ruled by an 800-year-old sisterhood.
  • The series explores whether women in positions of absolute power can avoid reproducing the oppressive systems traditionally associated with patriarchy.
  • Strong performances, sharp dialogue and stylised storytelling make Akka engaging, although its political ideas are not always fully explored.

What happens when women take control of a world traditionally dominated by men? Does changing the gender of those in power automatically create a fairer society? Netflix's Akka, led by Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte, explores these uncomfortable questions through a violent crime saga built around an 800-year-old sisterhood.

Set in the fictional south Indian region of Perunuru, the five-episode series follows a powerful matriarchal community that controls the criminal underworld and the lucrative gold and illicit liquor trades. While its premise offers an interesting reversal of conventional crime dramas, the story gradually reveals that replacing male rulers with women does not necessarily dismantle the systems of oppression they inherit.
