Apoorva Lakhia set to helm an action series for Voot

Well-known Bollywood filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia, who last helmed the Shraddha Kapoor starrer gangster drama Haseena Parkar in the year 2017, has now ventured into the digital world.

According to reports, the filmmaker is set to helm an action-drama digital series for Viacom18’s popular OTT platform Voot.


If insiders are to be believed, the untitled project will be the flagship program on the digital platform. The makers are looking at making and promoting it on a huge scale.

“Apoorva is working on an action-drama, which is again a very different concept than the ones that are on view at the moment. Voot has very limited original content at the moment and has been dishing out the shows of Colors TV channel. This web series, however, is being pitched as a flagship show for the OTT platform and will be pushed a lot,” a well-placed source reveals.

An official announcement is awaited.
