Vikram Bhatt to turn actor in upcoming web series 'Untouchables'?

While everyone is talking about Vikram Bhatt's adult web series, Maaya, which will premiere on January 27 on his newly-launched web channel, VB on the Web, a tabloid is now reporting about another upcoming web series he will be coming up with, called Untouchables. This one will go on the floors around March-April with the writer-filmmaker facing the camera.

Vikram shies away from calling himself the leading man, insisting he's just a character actor playing a pivotal role in the courtroom-drama which revolves around a medical student, (Tara Alisha Berry) who's an escort. She's only in the profession to to finance her education. And lands up facing a murder rap when her wealthy client is killed.

Her dad, a chauffeur, pleads with his employer, a 48-year-old washed-up lawyer, to return to court one last time to save his daughter, justifying the tagline: The only one who can save her life is the one the world has given up for dead.

Vikram told the tabloid that Untouchables stemmed from the desire to return to the genre and while writing it, he felt he could play this character who's so much like him. “Like me, he even suffers from fibromyalgia, a muscular ailment which makes one introverted and depressed because one is in constant pain,“ he said.

He's faced the camera in the film Bhaag Johnny and for his televised series, Once Upon A Time With Vikram Bhatt (OUATWVB).

When shooting the last episode of Maaya, the actor playing the lawyer just couldn't deliver, so Vikram shrugged into his OUAT black suit and went to court. “Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention, in this case it was the mother of discovery," he told the paper.
