New Delhi: Web series “Kanneda”, fronted by Punjabi star-singer Parmish Verma, is set to start streaming on JioHotstar from March 21.

Verma, known for songs such as “Look Classy”, “Caran Caran”, and “Dekhi Dekhi”, will play the role of Nimma in “Kanneda”. “After escaping the horrors of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Nimma arrives in Canada.

“Nimma’s story is about identity, ambition, and the thirst for power. Playing Nimma was a unique experience and as an artist, it was an incredibly fulfilling one. I have put my heart and soul into Kanneda. I am super excited for its release on JioHotstar and am looking forward to the audiences’ reaction,” the singer-actor said in a statement.

“Power is intoxicating, but in this world, it’s also a ticking time bomb. ‘Kanneda’ is the story of Nimma and Parmish has done absolute justice to the character. The soundtrack and music also adds immense value to the project. The stakes and the sheer force of this narrative makes it a must-watch. We’re elated to collaborate with JioHotstar and cannot wait for it to be seen by everyone,” added producer Ajay G Rai.
