Vikram Bhatt all set to start the shooting of his next web series titled Dirty Games

Vikram Bhatt, who has earlier made web series like Twisted and Maaya, will start shooting for his next web series on 27th October in Mumbai, India. The series, which is titled Dirty Games, stars Sandeepa Dhar and Omkar Kapoor in lead roles. It’s an eight-episode web series and the shooting will take place with all the necessary precautions.


Vikram Bhatt is known for his films like Ghulam, Raaz franchise, 1920, and more. Recently, while talking about his experience of working on web series, the filmmaker said, "I was probably the first one to start serious fiction on the net. Maaya and Twisted are in their fourth season now and that makes me really happy. However, in these years the OTT game has changed and both the content and the competition are much more fierce. Showbiz is like a game of cricket. You need to get out there and play a scintillating knock every once in a while. Here is to another scintillating knock, knock on wood!"

Dirty Games revolves around a psychiatrist who gets caught in the middle of a murder. The series also stars Khaled Siddiqui, Samay Thakkar, Vyas Hemang, Trishaan Singh Maini, Tanvi Thakkar, Coral Bhamra, Ashwin Kaushal, and Prakash Jha. It will stream on MX Player.

Talking about his movies, Vikram Bhatt’s last film was Hacked which starred Hina Khan in the lead role. Though the film didn’t get a great response at the box office, it was appreciated when it later started streaming on an OTT platform.

'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.
