Vijay Varma, known for his mind-blowing performances as a serial killer in Reema Kagti’s “Dahaad” and Netflix’s “Darlings,” is all set to break the mold and surprise his fans with his next role as a cop in “Kaalkoot.” The actor recently shared the trailer of the series on his Instagram handle, expressing his excitement about the upcoming project.
In the trailer, we see Vijay portraying the character of Ravi, a cop stationed in a small town. He is seen drafting a resignation letter to his senior, citing the toll that recent cases have taken on his mental well-being. However, his resignation is dismissed, and he is assigned to investigate an acid attack case. On the other side, Shweta Tripathi Sharma seems to be portraying an acid attack survivor in the series.
Directed by Sumit Saxena, “Kaalkoot” delves deep into the dark realities of patriarchy and systemic oppression. The series is co-written by Sumit Saxena and Arunabh Kumar, and it is co-produced by Anand Tiwari, Arunabh Kumar, and Viacom18 Studios. All episodes of the series will be available for streaming on Jio Cinema starting July 27.
Vijay Varma expressed his belief that “Kaalkoot” is a coming-of-age story of Ravi, his character, and he thinks it will be a transformative experience for anyone who watches it. He believes the show challenges the way we perceive ourselves and sheds light on the hidden aspects of humanity that we often overlook. Vijay is certain that the series will encourage viewers to reflect and initiate meaningful dialogue.
Shweta Tripathi Sharma added her thoughts on the premise and themes of “Kaalkoot.” She described it as a coming-of-age drama of a cop, who is on a journey to redefine what it means to be a “man.” While investigating a crime, he questions society’s definition of masculinity and how it impacts women. The show, being a cop crime drama, forces both the protagonist and the audience to introspect their own lives, behaviors, and belief systems.
“Kaalkoot” promises to be a compelling series that addresses important social issues and challenges prevailing norms. With Vijay Varma and Shweta Tripathi Sharma in the lead roles, viewers can expect outstanding performances that will captivate and inspire. The show’s release on Jio Cinema on July 27 is highly anticipated, and it is expected to leave a lasting impact on its audience.
