Bollywood star Raveena Tandon says it was a challenge to essay a grey character in her upcoming web series Karmma Calling, a show that she couldn’t take up 10 years ago. The show, based on the popular 2011 American series Revenge, is set in a world of glitz and glamour, filled with deceit and betrayal. It features Tandon as Indrani Kothari, a glamorous queen of the 90s who is married to a billionaire. Her life changes when a mysterious woman, named Karma (Namrata Sheth), enters the equation.
Karmma Calling is adapted and directed by Ruchi Narain of Guilty fame, for Disney+ Hotstar. Reveena said the show was offered to her a decade ago by Narain but had to decline it due to personal reasons. In fact, the actress had said a no to Ram Madhvani’s family crime drama Aarya as well. “While these were really exciting scripts, but somewhere I wanted to do something that the audience have never got a chance to see me as before. Hence, I chose Aranyak to be my digital debut. It really worked well for me. That year was just full of awards. That gamble paid off,” Raveena said.
About her character in Karmma Calling, she said, “The character of Indrani Kothari is very different from the kind of a person that I’m in real life. For instance, I had to make sure that I didn’t bring in my own thoughts, sympathy, while playing this character, I had to become someone else,” the actor said at the show’s trailer launch event on Tuesday. The 49-year-old actor, known for movies like Andaz Apna Apna, Mohra, Maatr, Satta, and Daman, said it has been her endeavour to take on different characters.
Karmma Calling will debut on Disney+ Hotstar on January 26.
