Following the resounding success of Amar Singh Chamkila, Netflix and filmmaker Imtiaz Ali reunite for a captivating exploration of contemporary human emotions with O Saathi Re. Produced by Window Seat Films and Reliance Entertainment, the series furthers Netflix’s creative collaboration with Imtiaz and is brought to life by an intriguing ensemble cast - Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary and Arjun Rampal - each adding depth to this intricate love story.

Imtiaz Ali – known for his rich storytelling and deeply moving portrayals of relationships  in Tamasha, Rockstar, Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal - will take on the role of Creator, Writer and Showrunner. He will also be the Executive Producer of the series along with Mohit Choudhary. Arif Ali, who previously directed the Netflix series She, will take on the role of the director. The romantic drama also marks a grand Netflix homecoming for its stellar cast. Aditi Rao Hydari returns after mesmerising audiences in Heeramandi; Avinash Tiwary will follow up his powerful performance in Sikandar Ka Muqaddar; and Arjun Rampal will gear up for his next big move after shaking things up in Rana Naidu Season 2. The powerhouse ensemble has already demonstrated their intense chemistry during a table read that took place ahead of the shoot – a glimpse of which was shared on social media.

Creator, writer and showrunner Imtiaz Ali shared his excitement as he said, “O Saathi Re surprised me at every turn of its development. It is a modern story with a vintage heart, an enchanted fairy tale set in the fiasco of Metropolitan life. I feel both relieved and excited at having Arif direct the stellar cast of Avinash Aditi and Arjun (All Aces there) and it is the ever-strengthening relationship with Netflix that enabled us to enter the deceptively charming world of O Saathi Re."

Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, added, “We are thrilled to bring a story that delves into love, relationships, and human dilemmas — narrated in Imtiaz’s signature, deeply authentic style, an almost haunting quality to these stories! After the success of She Season 2, we began exploring ideas for our next series together. We wanted something with an inherent musicality, perhaps inspired by a song and then Imtiaz crafted a story, called it O Saathi Re and that story moved us as profoundly as the song still does. It’s a fresh and innovative take on relationships in contemporary times. Now, with this phenomenal cast -- Aditi, Arjun and Avinash --we are ready to bring this beautiful and poetic story to life. We can't wait to embark on this journey with Window Seat Films and the whole team and our incredible cast and crew!”

With production set to commence by the end of this month, O Saathi Re is poised to be an evocative exploration of the vintage feeling of love in contemporary times.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
