Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free streaming service, is making waves with its latest high-octane thriller, Loot Kaand– a gripping tale of a meticulously planned heist gone wrong. Directed by Ruchir Arun and brought to life by the makers of Drishyam, the series unravels a dangerous game of greed, deception, and unexpected consequences, as siblings Palash and Latika find themselves entangled in chaos. At the heart of this hilarious yet suspenseful world is Gyanendra Tripathi’s character Pinaki, a cunning mastermind navigating the madness. Alongside him, the series boasts a stellar cast, featuring Sahil Mehta, Tanya Maniktala, Saad Bilgrami, Ronjini Chakraborty, Nitin Goel, and Amit Sarkar in pivotal roles.Reflecting on the experience of working on this project, Gyanendra Tripathi shared, “A well-written script is like a roadmap—it provides every tool, clue, and insight an actor needs to prepare. But beyond that, it's the director’s vision that truly brings a story to life. Understanding their perspective— how they see the characters, their emotions, and their journey makes all the difference. And then, of course, commitment is everything— showing up on time, being present, and respecting everyone on set. It’s also about being mindful of those around you, recognizing if someone is struggling with a particular scene, and offering help whenever possible. A film set is a collaborative space and supporting each other is just as crucial as the performance itself.”
Speaking about the camaraderie on set, he added, “There isn’t one standout moment that comes to my mind right now, but I’m sure if I sat down with the team, we would be reminiscing about our time together for hours. What I can say for sure is that shooting with Ruchir was an absolute joy. We share a long history, he’s my senior from the Film institute, so there was an instant sense of ease. Aakash Sinha is also a close friend, which made the entire process even more enjoyable. Knowing so many people beforehand created an incredibly comfortable and positive environment, and that reflected in the way we approached work.”
