Riz Ahmed joins the cast of Wes Anderson's untitled film

Filmmaker Wes Anderson’s next film is going to get even more star-studded with the addition of talented actor Riz Ahmed to the cast.

Currently in production in Berlin, this film has already garnered significant attention not only for its director but also for its ensemble cast that includes heavyweights like Benicio del Toro, Bill Murray, and Michael Cera.


While details about the plot remain tightly under wraps, the mere mention of Anderson’s name alongside a cast of this caliber is enough to pique audiences’ curiosity.

Ahmed's inclusion in the cast adds yet another layer of intrigue to the project.

The British-Pakistani actor has garnered widespread acclaim for his versatile performances in films such as Nightcrawler, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and the critically acclaimed Sound of Metal, for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

Ahmed's ability to inhabit complex characters with depth and authenticity makes him a perfect fit for the world of Wes Anderson.

The project, which has a script from Anderson and Roman Coppola, who has worked on five of the filmmaker’s movies, was initially scheduled to commence production in 2023 but faced delays due to the twin labour strikes.

'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.
