The film Laapataa Ladies, directed by Kiran Rao, gave one of the most promising young actors, Pratibha Rannta, a role of a lifetime and served as the stepping stone to her cinematic career. For her, however, finding a project that could match the impact of Laapataa Ladies wasn’t easy. After appearing in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Pratibha explores another gripping genre with Accused, a Netflix original directed by Anubhuti Kashyap.
