MUMBAI: Audiences around the world are buzzing as Lights, Camera, Lies begins streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Shorts TV Network from July 1st. This thrilling short film, led by the magnetic pairing of Achintya Rajawat and Karishma Sharma, has quickly gained attention for its seamless fusion of raw emotion, cinematic style, and MMA-inspired action.
At the heart of this global hit is Achintya Rajawat, whose performance as Aadee has become the talk of the town. A newcomer with the screen presence of a seasoned star, Achintya delivers a portrayal that is both physically charged and emotionally grounded. His ability to embody a character navigating inner conflict while holding his own in intense fight sequences is earning accolades not just in India, but from viewers across continents.
Hailing from Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh, Achintya’s journey is as compelling as his on-screen transformation. Raised in a family deeply rooted in law—his father, grandfather, and uncle were all respected legal minds—he chose to follow a different dream. After completing his BBA, he moved to Mumbai in 2021 with a vision to carve out a name in the entertainment industry. With sharp features and an athletic build, Achintya quickly found success on prestigious fashion runways like Bombay Times, Delhi Times, Pune Times, and Bangalore Times Fashion Week.
His modeling career took off rapidly, featuring in campaigns for iconic brands such as Nike, Raymonds, Puma, Manyavar, and Skechers. Commercials for Ocean Water and Play Rummy further pushed his visibility, while music videos like Nasha and Attitude hinted at a deeper potential waiting to break through.
Lights, Camera, Lies is that breakthrough. Directed, written, and produced by acclaimed filmmaker Dinesh Sudarshan Soi, the short film showcases a fresh cinematic language that balances style with substance. Achintya’s role as Aadee is at once intense and introspective, a blend of action hero grit and emotional vulnerability that sets him apart from the crowd of newcomers. The film’s action sequences—designed by industry veteran Harpal Singh Pali—are grounded in realism and driven by character stakes, not just spectacle.
Karishma Sharma, known for her memorable roles in Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, Tera Ghata, and Ek Villain Returns, brings quiet strength to the screen as Sonal. The chemistry between her and Achintya adds a heartfelt undercurrent that elevates the story.
Visually, the film is a treat—thanks to cinematographer Vikas K Sharma, who blends kinetic motion with tender stillness, capturing both the bruises and the silence in between. The creative oversight of Sonia Malhotra Soi and the sharp production values ensured by Executive Producer Deepak Soi add finesse to the project. Casting and costumes, handled by Castify and Team DS Creations respectively, add authenticity and flair.
The ensemble cast—Yajur Marwah, Varun Kasturia, Shrutika Gaokkar, Priyanka Mishra, Neha Chhabria and Sagar Kumar—further enriches the narrative fabric. Meanwhile, the dedicated crew, including Yugal Harrison, Rageswari Mahanta, and Aaeraa Singh Rawat, ensured that every frame met global standards.
What’s truly remarkable is the international response. Social media is abuzz, with viewers praising Achintya’s performance as one of the most promising debuts in recent memory. From fashion runways to global screens, he has proven that true talent doesn’t wait—it arrives, ready and unshakable.
With Lights, Camera, Lies, Achintya Rajawat doesn't just debut—he announces himself. And as audiences continue to stream, share, and celebrate, one thing is clear: a new action star is here, and he's only just getting started.
