Akshay Kumar's debut series The End likely to start rolling later this year, says producer

If you ever wondered what happened to Akshay Kumar’s digital debut show The End, which was announced with much fanfare in 2019, here is the latest update. Producer Vikram Malhotra on Wednesday said that the high-profile show will begin production either towards the end of the year or early 2022.

The action-packed thriller series for Amazon Prime Video was set to get off the ground in 2020, but the production was delayed due to the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which was soon followed by nationwide lockdown in India.


During a special event for his upcoming film Sherni, Malhotra said that his team at Abundantia Entertainment is currently working on several streaming shows with Amazon Prime Video, including The End, Hush Hush, and the third season of Breathe.

“Creators like us look for platforms that become homes and understand our sensibilities and creative efforts. We found a warm home in Amazon Prime Video. Apart from Breathe, there are other series in development like Hush Hush, which is in the middle of the production. We had to pause it because of the pandemic. There is a show called The End, featuring Akshay Kumar. It is set to start later this year or early next year, depending on how the situation is,” Malhotra told reporters.

The End, which will mark Kumar's debut in the streaming media space, is reportedly a survival thriller set in the future, whereas Hush Hush is a thriller drama, featuring an all-female cast, including Juhi Chawla, Soha Ali Khan, Shahana Goswami, Kritika Kamra, Karishma Tanna and Ayesha Jhulka.

'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.
