Kajal was quoted as saying, “One should be very versatile as an actor. In movies, we can only do so much, but in web series, you can push the envelope. It was also great to work with Venkat Prabhu again. I couldn’t have asked for a better debut.” The ten-episode series is said to be about a few television producers who attempt to capture a paranormal activity and get themselves into trouble.
According to reports, Venkat Prabhu had originally planned to make Live Telecast as a feature film but later opted to make it in a series form as the subject demanded a longer run time.
On the other hand, Kajal has Acharya, Mosagallu, Indian 2 and Mumbai Saga in her kitty.
In Mosagallu, she shares screen space with Vishnu Manchu. The star cast of the film also includes Ruhaani Singh and Suneil Shetty in important roles. Directed by Jeffrey Gee Chin, the film is a bilingual that will be released in Telugu and English simultaneously.
Kajal is also part of Chiranjeevi’s upcoming Telugu action film Acharya, which features the megastar in dual roles. The film is directed by Koratala Siva. Kajal also plays a pivotal role in Indian 2 opposite Kamal Haasan. She also has Paris Paris, the long-delayed Tamil remake of Queen, awaiting release. It’s been over a year since the project was completed but it still hasn’t managed to find a release date yet.
As per the latest reports, Kajal is all set to reunite with director Deekay for a yet-untitled horror flick. Kajal and Deekay had previously worked together in the Tamil romantic comedy Kavalai Vendam, which also starred Jiiva.
