Unlike before, a lot of artists these days are finding interesting roles in OTT platforms. Mainly, the heroines are confined to glam doll roles or spineless characters in many films. When the heroine starts doing heroine-oriented films or horror movies, many used to assume that her career in on the verge of extinction. But the growth in OTT platforms increased the longevity of many female actresses.
Apart from a lot of fresh talent arriving into the spotlight, we are able to see known artists taking up challenging roles when doing films or series for streaming networks. Anjali is one such actress who is taking up interesting roles lately. It has been quite long since she romanced any hero in mainstream cinema. All she did were heroine-oriented films, character roles in noted films and item songs.
She is now trying to prove herself in the OTT arena. She made her OTT debut with a Netflix original titled ‘Paava Kadhaigal’. It worked out well for her and she is now arriving on October 27th with a thriller web series named ‘Jhansi’. It will be streaming on Disney + Hotstar and the trailer came out recently. This series will present Anjali in a complete action avatar. She plays the role of Jhansi who has no idea of her past and tries to recollect it. It has been hinted that her past involves a lot of dark secrets and many influential people are connected to it. What she does and how she regains her memory will make it an interesting watch.
The visuals are okay and the production values look below par but the series may impress if the script is well-written. We need to see if Anjali pulls off the action avatar with ‘Jhansi’ or not.
