Diljit Dosanjh and Rajkummar Rao in consideration for Raj and DK’s next streaming show

Diljit Dosanjh and Rajkummar Rao in consideration for Raj and DK’s next streaming show

With the huge success of The Family Man (2019) and The Family Man 2 (2021), creators Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK have proved their prowess in long-format storytelling also. The filmmaker duo is presently busy with their next streaming show, which marks Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor’s digital debut. The yet-to-be-titled series also stars popular South Indian actors Raashi Khanna and Vijay Sethupathi in prominent characters.

While Raj and DK are yet to call it a wrap on the Shahid Kapoor-starrer show, the duo has reportedly already begun work on yet another ambitious streaming show. And if a report carried by a leading Indian publication is to be believed, talented actors Diljit Dosanjh and Rajkummar Rao are in talks to play the lead characters in the untitled project. As far as female leads are concerned, their casting is yet to take place.


When the same publication contacted the associate producer and filmmaker Krishna DK’s wife Anu, she confirmed that the streaming show is indeed in the works. Talking about the casting, she said, “Rajkummar and Diljit are surely under consideration but we have not signed them as yet. There are some actors too who are under consideration.”

The buzz, however, is pretty strong that Dosanjh and Rao are surely going to be part of the show. While Dosanjh will be working with Raj & Krishna DK for the first time, Rao has previously worked with the filmmaker duo on the blockbuster horror-comedy film Stree (2018). They may also collaborate for the sequel to Stree.

'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.
