Dera is a political satire marking the digital foray of hard-hitting filmmaker Prakash Jha. It is inspired by the real-life controversial religious personality, Godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.
Bobby Deol heads the series. Dera is the second outing for him after Class of 83. Both are currently in filming stages, and we have to see which one streams first. It is the cast besides Bobby Deol that is also getting exciting.
A month ago it was reported that wrestler Sangram Singh had joined the series. Now, the reports are coming in that actor Adhyayan Summan, Tridha Chaudhary and Vikram Kochhar have been roped in as part of the show. All the actors have been part of some popular series, digitally. Tridha was very recently seen in Zee5’s Chargesheet.
Prakash Jha has made several films that picked topics of immense interest. He turned them into engaging and commercially viable fared. As there is nothing to worry regarding the box office on digital space, one hopes that Jha brings his a-game to the story of Dera as the subject has a lot of meat to it. The web-series will be out on MX Player.
