What the cast said about Raakh

Fazal shared that when he was first approached for Raakh, he thought it would be a conventional investigative crime thriller. However, after reading the script, he was drawn in as it is “layered, emotionally intense, and packed with gritty realism.”

On his role, the Mirzapur actor said Jayprakash is an “introvert, the unlikely cop, whose mind I found exciting to explore along with the minds of the suspects.”

He called Raakh “truly compelling” because of the “character study.”

Bendre was also drawn to the show because it is “layered and emotionally complex”. She also said it allowed her to “explore emotional spaces I hadn’t tapped into before as an actor.”
