So, what exactly is Yakshini about and what can we expect from Lakshmi in this? On being asked more about the same, Lakshmi got candid and shared,
“So, I play Yakshini in the web series. For those who are not aware, Yakshini in its simplest term means those angels who protect the temples. All the women that you are seeing here are Yakshinis aka the gatekeepers who are protecting the temple. This is based on mythology but at the same time, fictionalized for today’s world. What happens when Yakshinis come into Earth when they are cursed, how do they behave when they are on Earth, are they among us. So, to cut things short, this is an interesting fantasy series that’s commercially made for our audience who believe in all this. However, there’s an element of fictional touch to it. I am really excited for the release of the series and eagerly looking forward to it. Fingers crossed.”
