Starring Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles, The Immortal Ashwatthama is one of the most awaited forthcoming films. What makes the project hugely anticipated is the fact that it reunites Kaushal with director Aditya Dhar and producer Ronnie Screwvala after the runaway success of Uri: The Surgical Strike in 2019.


The latest update on The Immortal Ashwatthama is that the high-profile film will go before cameras in the month of August in Ukraine, followed by several other international locations.

A source in the know informs a leading publication, “The first schedule of the film will begin in Ukraine, after which it will be shot at other multiple international locations. Aditya is currently in the stage of finalising his other shooting spots. Meanwhile, Vicky has started prepping for the film, and Sara will begin with her preparations in April.”

Sara Ali Khan, who made her acting debut with Abhishek Kapoor’s Kedarnath (2018), will share the screen space with Vicky Kaushal for the first time. The audience is excited to see this fresh pairing on celluloid.

We also hear that not just Kaushal, the Coolie No. 1 (2020) actress will also do some hardcore action sequences in the upcoming film. To nail them, she is set to learn a few forms of martial arts, including MMA.

Meanwhile, Vicky Kaushal is presently shooting for Yash Raj Films’ next with Manushi Chhillar. Vijay Krishna Acharya is calling the shots. The actor is also waiting for the release of filmmaker Shoojit Sircar’s next directorial Sardar Udham. Sara Ali Khan, on the other hand, has finished shooting for Aanand L Rai’s next Atrangi Re, co-starring Akshay Kumar, and Dhanush. The film is poised for its theatrical release on August 6, 2021.

'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.
