Ram Gopal Verma plans a new digital series

Digital media has opened an avalanche of opportunities for creative minds. Not only inexperienced people bubbling with fresh ideas are exploring the space, but established players like Dharma Productions and Balaji Motion Pictures also have their dedicated outlets to cater to the digital audience across the world.

The immense success of digital shows such as Sacred Games, Mirzapur and Apaharan has made one thing very clear that if you can offer fresh content, there is an audience out there ready to lap it up.


Well-known filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma knows the power of digital media just like any other filmmaker out there and hence he is quite serious about creating engaging and quality content for the new medium.

If reports are to be believed, he is planning a new web-series. Though nothing substantial is known about the project as yet, a source close to the development reveals an announcement will be made soon.

“The project is in the production stage and there will be an announcement about the same soon,” said the source.

'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.
