Raktanchal introduces viewers to two awe inspiring and menacing gangsters who promise to redefine heartland crime dramas as we know it
A caring and studious young man turned reluctant gangster – Vijay Singh has many faces. With an aim to dominate and win every tender in the city, Vijay created a mark all by himself and became the most feared man in the city. He was terror in disguise. Violence, law makers or politics – nothing could stop him from getting what he wants. His mantra – more risk, more pain and more pain means more gain is sure to leave you with goose bumps.
After his impactful role in MS Dhoni – the untold story, Kranti Prakash Jha plays Vijay Singh to perfection. Adding light to the character, he says, "Vijay Singh does not follow the usual gangster graph, he did not enter that world out of fascination or because he had a thirst for power. His is a story of struggles to shatter the criminal empire of his adversary. Gang wars have always fascinated me and getting a chance to play a character that is so layered, so real and dangerous really intrigued me".
His arch enemy, the ruthless Waseem Khan is equipped not only with money but also with power of politics as well. Shrewd, arrogant and ruling the tender mafic with an ironclad fist - Waseem Khan will do anything to retain his control and protect what is his. And, when a war is declared - he stops at nothing.
Acclaimed for his performances in Chennai Express, Jodha Akbar and Mission Istanbul - Nikiten Dheer plays Waseem Khan in this series and he added saying, "Brutal, violent and hungry for power – these are the words I would use to describe my character. What's interesting in his story is how he reacts when his authority is threatened and what extent he will go to, to prove his worth. This series brings forth a never seen before world of thekedari and I hope my fans appreciate me in this dark role as well".
