You may use Genymotion to start an android emulator. Once a Genymotion emulator is started, drag & drop your apk, it will be installed and started like in Bluestacks.

According to this site inthecheesefactory.com/blog/… you can do it :) Commented Jul 16, 2016 at 15:01
The .apk extension is an android application package. If you want to run an android app on elementary OS (which is what you were doing on Windows, since Bluestacks is an android emulator), you should search for an android emulator such as Genymotion.
Try using Shashlik (shashlik.io). It is an Android simulator (not emulator) which lets you run Android apps (APKs).Their website has instructions on using it
