"It can be disarming for a newcomer" - Elisha Mayor on working in 'Kaala'

We’ve all heard of people converting black money to white - but have you ever imagined a situation where one turns white money to black? In a world where vengeance, power and money conquer, the only way to win in the game of life is through a web of lies and deceit. That is explored in the nexus of crime in the series, Kaala. The world of Kaala was created and directed by Bejoy Nambiar and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Bejoy Nambiar and released on September 15, 2023 on Disney+ Hotstar.

Every complex story needs an unabashed spirit, and that spirit in - Kaala is Aaloka played by Elisha Mayor. From understanding the twisted nuances and emotions of the story to navigating through plot twists while keeping her character in check, Elisha Mayor gives us insight into Aaloka's fiery world within Kaala. 

Playing the role of Aaloka in the show, Elisha Mayor said, "In a show that digs into the dark world of crime and black money, Aaloka’s innocence brings an emotional aspect to the fast-paced thriller. She is still coming of age, and life hasn’t happened to her yet, but her wild spirit and fearlessness to go after what she thinks is right in any situation is inspiring. Even when her world crumbles, her spirit pushes her to seek answers and fight back."

Opening up about collaborating with the exceptional filmmaker Bejoy Nambiar and the talent set of cast, Elisha Mayor said, "It can be disarming for a newcomer to be surrounded by a team of actors that they admire and respect but being authentic and honest - both as Aaloka on camera and Elisha off camera - made this an enjoyable and memorable experience for me that I am extremely grateful for."
