Surveen Chawla excited about the release of her new series ‘Andhera’

Actress Surveen Chawla, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming streaming series “Andhera,” is currently basking in the success of her recent projects. The actress’ recent titles are streaming across multiple platforms. Netizens have gone on to call her the Pedro Pascal of Bollywood. Well, it might seem that it’s happening all of a sudden or as a stroke of serendipity but Surveen says that it’s the hard work of the past 20 years that has gone down into it, and it’s finally bearing fruits.

Surveen recently spoke with IANS ahead of the release of “Andhera,” and said, “This is the reward of a long night that lasted 20 years. And it’s just the beginning. I think what also tends to happen and I’m speaking this very realistically, when you get acknowledged and when you get recognised by whether it’s the industry you are working in it could be across fields it’s not just the cinema or the movies or whatever I think what it does is something else which is not tangible to your own confidence. It does that to you”.

Surveen started her journey with television shows in the early 2000s, and eventually shifted to cinema and now OTT. She further mentioned that it’s not the success part of it but the recognition part of it. It’s the acceptance part of it that does something to an artist.

She told IANS, “I am also a little aware of the fact that anything here knowing this industry changes at any time. It’s very fleeting, very fragile, very fickle and which is why it’s so difficult. So the idea is just to take this as that leaping board, as that spring board to just go further and keep at it”.

“The idea is to just keep it very simple and forget about this. And just move on and take every project that you do on face value and just think about that project and nothing before and nothing after. I hope I am able to achieve that because this whole 3-4 months have got me into a very introspective self-reflective kind of space”, she added. “Andhera” will drop on Prime Video on August 14, 2025.

Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Kassim Jagmagia, Mohit Shah, and Karan Anshuman under the banner of Excel Entertainment, with Vishal Ramchandani as Associate Producer. “With Andhera, we wanted to push the boundaries of genre storytelling in India. This isn’t just a supernatural thriller—it’s a layered narrative about fear, power, and the human psyche. Backed by a stellar ensemble and a bold, cinematic vision, the series explores what happens when darkness is not just around us, but within us, ” says Kassim Jagmagia, Executive Producer, Excel Entertainment. “Supernatural horror has been an incredibly exciting space that we have been exploring with very encouraging audience response.” says Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals, Prime Video, India.
