Actor Ramandeep Yadav, who essays the role of serial killer Rajjo in the recently released streaming series Raakh, has shared that while his partner in crime, Akash Makhija’s character is outright brutal, Rajjo develops over a period of time. When asked if he infused the blind rage into his character, the actor denied saying that as an actor he has to put a thought while crafting the characters no matter how brutal, unreasonable the characters are. He told IANS, “As an audience, if you watch, you will feel that Akash and my characters are not thinking. But when you have to do that as an actor, we have to think. Even Rajjo thinks a lot.

 

The character of Akash, I agree he is brutal, he is not thinking. As he said, ‘It's my world, so if I don't get it, I'll take it’. My character develops gradually”. Raakh is a gripping fictional investigative thriller set in the late 1970s. It traces a crime that sends shockwaves across the nation, and leads to a nationwide manhunt that explores the collision between crime and justice. The series is heavily inspired by the Ranga-Billa case of kidnapping and extortion of siblings eventually leading to their brutal murder. Aamir essays the role of a war veteran, and the father of the children, who are murdered. The series is available to stream on Prime Video. n
