PeepingMoon Exclusive: Raveena Tandon to headline Disney+Hotstar's Revenge adaptation!

Raveena Tandon made her OTT debut last year with Siddharth Roy Kapur’s crime-thriller, Aranyak. The Netflix series saw her playing the role of a hill station cop navigating a web of suspects after a puzzling murder. Enthralled by the praise she has received for her portrayal in the Rohan Sippy series, the actress is now gearing up for more digital content. Peepingmoon.com has exclusively learned that Raveena Tandon is next doing an edgy thriller series for the streaming giant Disney+Hotstar.

Industry sources have informed us that Raveena will headline Disney+Hotstar’s Indian adaptation of the American drama television series, Revenge. "It’s a mystery drama that will see Raveena playing the role of an emotionally troubled young woman who sets out to extract revenge against the people who wronged her father. She steps into the shoes of Emily VanCamp, who played the central role in the Mike Kelley-created original ABC series. The yet-untitled Hindi adaptation also stars Fan actress Waluscha De Sousa and Jug Jugg Jeeyo fame Varun Sood in pivotal roles," a source close to the development told us. The project has already gone into production and will premiere in mid-next year.
