Get ready for an exhilarating ride as Netflix unveils the first look of Akka, the highly anticipated series from Yash Raj Films that promises to redefine the gangster genre with its unique matriarchal twist. Set in the 1980s in the fictional city of Pernuru, South India, Akka delves into a world where women rule with an iron fist, and power has a new name—Akka! The series follows a gang of powerful gangster queens whose unchallenged matriarchal reign is thrown into turmoil by the arrival of an outsider, sparking a brutal struggle for survival and control. As the sisterhood faces an unprecedented threat, chaos and violence erupt in a battle for power that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
Akshaye Widhani, CEO of Yash Raj Films, shared his excitement for the project, saying, “Netflix and YRF share a common vision of bringing exceptional stories from India to the world. Our collaboration has resulted in incredible global success stories that have resonated with audiences not only in India but all over the world, and we are extremely bullish about what's next. After successes like The Romantics, The Railway Men, Maharaj, and Vijay 69, we are now thrilled to present two of our most ambitious projects to date — Mandala Murders and Akka. These two shows will mark the next chapter of Netflix and YRF’s association as we push our creative boundaries further, taking the audience through an immersive content experience like never before. Mandala Murders and Akka reflect our relentless commitment to exploring path-breaking stories that are deeply rooted in India. With Netflix’s enormous global footprint, we are confident these shows will captivate viewers around the world."
Directed and written by Dharmaraj Shetty, Akka brings a fresh perspective to the world of crime dramas. This fierce, female-led narrative is not just about the battle for power, but also about survival, betrayal, and resilience. Starring Keerthy Suresh, Radhika Apte, and Tanvi Azmi in pivotal roles, the series promises to be an intense, emotional journey into a society ruled by women in a way we’ve never seen before. The stellar cast, coupled with Dharmaraj Shetty’s compelling direction, ensures that Akka will be a must-watch for fans of crime thrillers and strong, layered characters.
Produced by YRF Entertainment and executive produced by Aditya Chopra, Yogendra Mogre, and Akshaye Widhani, Akka is set to push the boundaries of storytelling, bringing the raw and untold stories of gangster queens to a global audience. With its gripping narrative, strong performances, and an immersive setting, Akka is poised to be one of the most talked-about shows of the year.
