After 'Luck', Mithun Chakraborty-Shruti Haasan reuniting for a web series
Mithun Chakraborty never ceases to experiment. The veteran actor is all set to make his digital debut, and for this, he has joined forces with Shruti Haasan, who would also be marking her debut in the OTT world with this web series. To be aired on Amazon Prime Video, the show will be based on author Ravi Subramanian's novel The Bestseller She Wrote.
Why does it matter?
- According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the senior performer was approached for several web series in the past.
- However, he did not sign any of them. But this time around, Chakraborty was "impressed" with the script and he could not refuse the project.
- He reportedly found his role in the series "intriguing" and readily gave his nod to join the cast.
- Exciting, right?
'Missing' director Mukul Abhyankar has helmed the OTT series
The report added that the makers have already wrapped up shooting. The series was shot in places like Mumbai and Mussoorie. Helmed by Missing fame Mukul Abhyankar, the project is being bankrolled by Siddharth P Malhotra. Arjan Bajwa, Gauahar Khan, and Satyajeet Dubey will also feature in the project.
