Darsheel Safary steps back into the spotlight with a bold reinvention in Gamerlog

In a world where pixels, pressure, and passion collide, Gamerlog on Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s streaming service, has emerged as more than just a series about e-sports— it’s a vibrant coming-of-age tale layered with ambition, identity, and reinvention. Striking a chord with young audiences, the series has quickly built a loyal following, lauded for its refreshing characters, emotional resonance, and grounded performances. At the heart of this offbeat, Mumbai based bootcamp universe are Darsheel Safary and Anjali Sivaraman, who bring Raghu and Joanna to life with heart, grit, and vulnerability. 

Returning to the spotlight in a full-fledged lead role Darsheel Safary reflects on his journey with candour, “Acting has always been my passion, but moving forward hasn’t always been easy. When you’re known so strongly for one role as a child, every step forward feels like starting from scratch. Gamerlog, for me, became symbolic of that reset— to be seen as who I am now, not just who I was back then.”

Stepping into the world of e-sports for the first time, Anjali Sivaraman found herself drawing from the duality of her own identity to bring authenticity to Joanna. “Since I had no direct reference for the energy of e-sports, I leaned into how I am in real life. Personally, I’m quite soft, but professionally, I become much more focused and headstrong. That contrast helped me shape Joanna, who is driven and sharp when she needs to be, but still holds space for vulnerability” she shared.

Directed by Arya Deo and produced by Abhinay Deo, Gamerlog features the talented Darsheel Safary and Anjali Sivaraman, along with Chinmay Chandraunshuh, Kunal Bhan, Chetan Dhawan, Shubroy Chowdhury, and Akash Menon in pivotal roles. The series is now available to stream for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player.
