Keeping up with Akarsh Khurana

Live Mint  

A sports biopic, a political satire, a teenage romance, a family drama, a play on climate change. There seems to be nothing Akarsh Khurana hasn’t done in the last couple of years. During this time, Akarsh has also produced two of his most political works— a play, There’s Something In The Water, and the OTT series Jugaadistan. Whether it is the story of love-struck Rishi and Dimple in Mismatched or the political play There’s Something In The Water, there is one thing Akarsh, now in his 40s, never loses sight of: the youth. I read the book and understood the appeal but didn’t know why they chose me; I was almost double the age of the characters,” Akarsh says about what is perhaps his biggest hit, adding, “The reasoning I got was how I depicted Mithila’s character in Karwaan.
