Alongside leads Priya Bapat and Karanvir Malhotra, the series features popular actors Surveen Chawla and social media star-turned-actress Prajakta Koli, both poised to add depth and intrigue to the story.
In a recent interview with News18, Prajakta Koli shared her enthusiasm about joining Andhera. “I was instantly intrigued by the world of Andhera. It’s a psychological horror story, but at its core, it’s about the survival of the mind, of truth, and of identity,” she explained.
Prajakta described her character as impulsive, bold, and skeptical, yet deeply affected by unexplained events. “Being part of a story that is so eerie yet emotionally layered has been an unforgettable experience. I genuinely can’t wait for audiences to get pulled into this world and see how the mystery slowly unfolds,” she added.
