Lone warrior-Akela new fresh story

After creating a whole new genre on Indian television with CID, producer-director B.P. Singh is starting an all-new show on Sony titled Akela. To start next Tuesday, Akela is the story of a young policeman Ranvir (Sudhanshu Pandey, last seen in The Myth alongside Jackie Chan and Mallika Sherawat) who meets with a near-death accident that turns his life upside down. Recovering from an eight-year coma, he discovers that he can now see and hear the dead.

But before he gets to use his "sixth sense", Ranvir has many other pasts to contend with. His fiancee Kinnari (Aaksha Garodia) has got married to someone else "while he was sleeping". Even his mother died waiting for him to wake up and his best friend Savio (Sumeet Raghavan) lost his life in the same accident.

As he gets back to work, Ranvir also gets involved with researcher Meghana, who is working with him on the new cases.

"It's the first time we are trying a supernatural drama for TV and we have also been able to weave in a romance," Singh tells Metro from Mumbai. "We believe in trying new concepts rather than repeating what is already selling on the small screen. Just like we did with CID, we hope that Akela too will reach out to the audiences very quickly."

Akela will be shown every Tuesday, 10 pm on Sony.
