Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna is in the news again. He stunned the audience with his portrayal of Aurangzeb in the recently released film 'Chhaava'. Now he is ready for his next film. He has signed the film 'Mahakali', which will be presented as the third part of Prashanth Varma's Cinematic Universe (PVCU). The film is directed by Pooja Aparna Kolluru.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said on social media that Akshaye Khanna will play an important role in this film. The film is being made under the banner of RKD Studios and will be released simultaneously across the country. After the success of 'Hanu-Man', 'Mahakali' will be PVCU's next superhero film, which the audience is eyeing.

'Mahakali' is also special because it is considered to be India's first female superhero film. The story of this film is based on the cultural background of Bengal, where Maa Kali is worshiped with special reverence. A dark-skinned actress has been cast in the lead role in the film, who will try to challenge the traditional notion of beauty in Indian cinema. This film was officially announced in 2024. In this, an attempt will be made to depict the traditions, culture and the fragrance of the soil of Bengal through a strong story. The goal of the film team is not just to make a superhero film, but to create an experience that can connect the audience emotionally with a social message.
