Akshaye Khanna’s ‘Mahakali’ First Glimpse Set for August 24
The ‘Dhurandhar’ star returns as Shukracharya in Prasanth Varma’s expanding cinematic universe.
MUMBAI, Aug 23: Actor Akshaye Khanna is set to make another notable screen appearance with Mahakali, an upcoming film from filmmaker Prasanth Varma’s cinematic universe. The makers are scheduled to unveil the movie’s first glimpse on August 24, building anticipation around Khanna’s new role as Shukracharya.
The project expands the ambitious cinematic universe being developed by Varma, who has been creating interconnected stories inspired by Indian mythology and folklore. Khanna’s casting adds another established performer to the growing franchise.
Alongside Khanna, Bhoomi Shetty and Rohit Saraf have joined the cast, further strengthening the film’s ensemble.
