By Jyothi Venkatesh

Ravii Dubey has a huge surprise in store for the viewers, who will be seeing him in as many as 11 unrecognisable looks in MX Player’s most ambitious heist-based series – Matsya Kaand. After the teaser of the highly anticipated series stirred a huge buzz across social media, its trailer drops, raising the excitement and intrigue surrounding it. Ravii, who’s spearheading it, essays the role of Matsya, a charming con artist who makes heists look like art in its trailer. Prepared to showcase his versatility, the actor is set to hit the digital scene in 11 different avatars by November 18.

The storyline of the series follows an honourable con artist, who pulls off the country’s most daring cons, while ACP Tejraj Singh (Ravi Kishen) is given the charge to apprehend him, resulting in a cat and mouse chase. Poised as Ravii’s breakthrough performance, Matsya Kaand hints at the journey of a thief turning a conman and a heist mastermind.

A source revealed, ”Ravii has truly reinvented himself as an actor and spared no effort to embody 11 starkly unique looks, which involved hours of prosthetics work and makeup. It is apparent from the trailer that apart from the physicality of the looks, the actor has paid special attention to internalising different personalities with changes in mannerisms, language, diction, body language and expressions.”

Ravii says, “I’m thrilled that the trailer of Matsya Kaand is out. The series allowed me to push myself to limits I never had. I seized every opportunity I got to learn from my seniors Ravi Kishen and Piyush Mishra ji. Matsya Kaand is for those who dig unexpected twists and turns and gripping plotlines. I’m glad that I got to be part of something that I would like to watch.”
