Born in the suburbs of one of the most populated cities in India, Mumbai, Praneet Akilla, moved to Canada later. Raised in the crowd of millions, Parneet never lost his hunger for passion. With an eye for acting, he carved his way into the show business.

Do you know, what’s common between Dev Patel, Rahul Kohli, Priyanka Chopra, and Praneet? They all are among the actors of Indian background who earned a big-time in Hollywood.

Though, Akila moved to Calgary, Canada from Mumbai, the change in scenery never hindered his desire. After all, he ended in the show biz industry, for good. It was tough for the guy to find a place in the industry, but he made his way eventually.

Currently, he plays Phillip Mishra in Netflix’s adaptation of ‘October Faction’.

Premiered on January 23, 2020, the sci-fiction thriller features Tamara Taylor and Gabriel Darku in the leads.
