Known for her strong screen presence and versatility, Priya Bapat takes on a compelling new role in Prime Video’s supernatural thriller Andhera. Audiences have seen her bring charm and depth to a range of characters, but this project introduced a different kind of challenge. While her on-screen role required emotional intensity, it was the real-life filming location that left a lasting impression. Shot in an abandoned hospital, the eerie atmosphere added an unexpected layer to the experience. For Priya, the quiet, shadow-filled halls felt less like a typical set and more like stepping into a real-life ghost story.

Recalling her eeriest scene, Priya shared, “The hospital had this heavy, dark energy. It was a real hospital once, but abandoned for years, completely as if time just stopped. On the first day, Prajakta, Karanvir, and I walked in together, and we all had the same reaction — ‘What place is this?!’ Then the team casually tells us, ‘You’ll be shooting here at 3 a.m.’ That place had its own vibe, and we were living in it.”
Further adding about her character, she said, “Playing a fierce, strong character was the opposite of that fear, but fear exists in everyone. It’s just about the circumstances that bring it out. For me, it wasn’t about exploring my own fears, but about understanding what my character (Kalpana) must have faced in her journey. And honestly, I really enjoyed it, the action, firing bullets, running around as a cop, the chases, it had everything.”
Andhera is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Kassim Jagmagia, Vishal Ramchandani, Mohit Shah, and Karan Anshuman under the banner of Excel Entertainment. Created by Gaurav Desai, the series is written by Gaurav Desai, Raaghav Dar, Chintan Sarda, and Karan Anshuman, and directed by Raaghav Dar. The show is headlined by Priya Bapat, Karanvir Malhotra, Prajakta Koli, and Surveen Chawla, with a talented supporting cast that includes Vatsal Sheth, Parvin Dabas, and Pranay Pachauri in pivotal roles. Andhera is now streaming on Prime Video.
