Prosit Roy shared, “As filmmakers and storytellers, we are drawn to narratives that not only entertain but also challenge perspectives and ignite meaningful conversations. ‘Raakh’ is exactly that - a deeply immersive world that pushes boundaries while exploring the complex layers of human nature. Anusha and Sandeep have crafted a narrative that delves into the grey areas of morality, justice and redemption - all while keeping viewers thoroughly engaged. For me, the series represents a bold step forward in Indian storytelling, blending intense drama with nuanced character studies. With the unwavering support of ‘Prime Video’, coupled with the exceptional talent of our multi-faceted cast - Ali, Sonali and Aamir - who have brought unprecedented depth to their characters, I’m excited to bring this powerful and thought-provoking story to global audiences.”
