Vijay Sethupathi and Sundeep Kishan to join hands for a pan-India film

Ever since the roaring success of Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017), there has been a deluge of pan-India films in the Indian film industry. Actors and filmmakers from across the industries are coming together to pull off mega-budgeted films that cater to audiences across India rather than focusing on the audience belonging to one particular region.

Looking at the number of pan-India films that are currently in production, it will not be an exaggeration to say that it has become a norm these days. Joining the list of such exciting projects will be the one for which Vijay Sethupathi and Sundeep Kishan are joining forces together.


Yes, you read that absolutely right! An Indian publication reports that Sethupathi and Kishan are set to star in a big-ticket pan-India film, to be directed by Ranjith Jeyakodi. “Vijay Sethupathi and Sundeep Kishan will be teaming up for a multilingual film, which will be directed by Ranjith Jeyakodi. The film will be presented by The Family Man directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, and produced by Bharath Chowdary,” a source in the know informs the publication.

The source goes on to add that the untitled project begins rolling in October. “The movie, an action entertainer, will be made in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, and will go on floors from October,” adds the source.

At the moment, Vijay Sethupathi has over half a dozen films on his platter. Some of his upcoming projects include Vikram, Tughlaq Durbar, Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal, Yaadhum Oore Yaavarum Kelir, Mumbaikar, and Annabelle Subramaniam to name a few.

Sundeep Kishan, on the other hand, is currently filming for his much-awaited film Gully Rowdy in Telugu. He will soon commence work on the sequel to his science-fiction mystery thriller Maayavan (2017).

'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.
