Amitabh Bachchan visited the sets of Kaali – Ek Agnipariksha and spent some time with Ashutosh Rana and the rest of the cast which includes a host of young talent. What was a dream come true for the youngsters was also equally momentous for Ashutosh Rana. The show has received several accolades for highlighting real issues in a simple manner and is tailor-made for the youth. The visit by Mr. Bachchan, as he was shooting next door, coincided with the episodes showcasing college politics and therefore had a lot of budding actors on the sets.

Amitabh Bachchan is credited with redefining the role of the Bollywood ‘hero’ – of a bad man with a good heart. Ashutosh Rana revolutionised the traditional villain of Bollywood with his portrayal of the postman in Dushman, redefining the role of the ‘villain’ – that of a good man with a bad heart. This is the role he essays in the serial as well. It was indeed a practical crash course for all the actors on the sets – seeing the two actors interact.
About Kaali – Ek Agnipariksha: A far cry from the soaps currently airing on Television, the story of Kaali – Ek Agnipariksha is a classic drama series about the fight between good and evil.

But Rachana shows the grit and determination to fight back. The show explores if she will have the strength to become today’s ‘Kaali’. Created By Undercover Productions & Produced by Fox Television Studios India, the show is aimed at increasing social awareness about the growing number of cases of sexual crimes against women. The show airs from Monday to Friday at 11 pm on Star Plus.
