Swara to star in a web series

Swara Bhaskar is on a roll. After her acclaimed performance in Nil Battey Sannata, the actor is gearing up for a new challenge. She will now star in a web series that also features Akshay Oberoi and Karanvir Mehra.

A source says, “Being part of a web series is the current trend among actors and directors looking for a creative outlet. Swara was keen to be part of this six-part web series, as she has an interesting role in it. The show is an adult drama, and has been directed by Danish Aslam of Break Ke Baad (2010) fame. It deals with topics such as marriage, love, loyalty, etc.”

The unit shot for the show in July. It will be released online in September. Swara says the online world is changing rapidly as are viewer habits with regards to the consumption of content. “The digital space is the new circus ring. I wanted to explore the medium. It is a novel platform for me to reach my audience. It’s also where interesting content is being created. That’s why I agreed to do a web series,” says Swara.
