The White Lotus

He calls it a real learning lesson of what is possible. The White Lotus stars Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario and more.

Manoj Bajpayee won hearts all over again in this one. Akshay is a fan of the show as well.

Tabbar
Where to Watch: Sony Liv
Akshay Oberoi is all praise for director Ajit Pal Singh. He worked with him in Gurgaon. Akshay calls him the director to watch out for in the future. Talking about Tabbar, the show tells a story of a Punjabi family but there are no “sarsoon ke khets” in the entire show. In fact, there is nothing conventional about Tabbar at all. It’s subdued. It’s menacing and most importantly, it’s authentic,” says Akshay.

Akshay confesses to being a huge Godfather fan. He says he was thus intrigued to watch a show that depicts how that film got made. Calling it an eye-opener for those who don’t know the troubles the team went through in putting together, Akshay says it’s arguably the best series ever made.
