The much-awaited web series Akka, starring the immensely talented Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte, has taken a step closer to release with the unveiling of its gripping teaser. On Monday, the makers showcased the first glimpse of the series at Netflix’s grand event, Next on Netflix, where the streaming giant officially announced its extensive lineup of new projects slated for 2025. The upcoming thriller is set to deliver a high-octane revenge saga, featuring a riveting face-off between two formidable female leads, packed with power struggles, ambition, and intense drama.

Set against the backdrop of the 1980s in the fictional city of Pernuru in South India, Akka brings to life the enthralling world of gangster queens who rule with an iron fist. Their dominance, however, faces an unexpected threat when an outsider, played by Radhika Apte, disrupts their empire, setting the stage for a fierce battle of wits, strategy, and sheer willpower. The teaser opens with a stunning shot of the stronghold ruled by these formidable women, with Keerthy Suresh’s character leading a formidable all-female gang. It offers glimpses of Radhika’s mysterious character, who appears to be scheming and plotting to dismantle Akka’s dominion. The visuals strongly indicate that the gang’s influence extends into the lucrative gold trade, adding another layer of intrigue as Radhika’s character emerges as a direct threat to their operations. A powerful sequence showcases Akka’s followers, dressed in traditional attire, fiercely wielding weapons in an intense fight to protect their supremacy from those who dare challenge it.

Helmed by writer and director Dharmaraj Shetty, Akka is backed by the powerhouse production banner of Yash Raj Films, with Aditya Chopra, Yogendra Mogre, and Akshaye Widhani producing the series under YRF Entertainment. The show also boasts a stellar supporting cast, with veteran actress Tanvi Azmi playing a pivotal role.

This project marks Radhika Apte’s return to the screen following the birth of her daughter in December last year. Meanwhile, Keerthy Suresh, who made her Bollywood debut alongside Varun Dhawan in Baby John, was present at the Mumbai event and shared her enthusiasm about the series. Speaking about Akka, she expressed that it is an entirely fresh and unique concept, unlike anything seen before, emphasizing its portrayal of bold and dynamic female characters. She described Akka as a show that places fierce, resilient women at its heart, promising a gripping and unforgettable viewing experience.
