Ekta Kapoor is back with yet another web series for her streaming platform ALTBalaji. This time it is said to be social-thriller. Since, the czarina of TV is known to promote and support women for everything; this time too she did it by choosing a young female as the lead of her latest web series. The web series is named as “Helllo Jee” and will be releasing by the end of January. The makers released a small video that showcases Sunny Leone dancing to the probable theme song of “Hello Jee” with the lead actress in it looking as sensual as possible. The teaser drops on the 18th of January.
The webseries will be led by the young and beautiful Nyra Banerjee, who earlier starred in the fantasy daily soap “Divyadrishti” on Star Plus. The show focuses on Nyra’s character, named Angelina, who takes up the job of phone dating operator. While she is, herself running away from her past she comes across many other women who need liberation and freedom of some kind from their issues in life. She will be shown to be runaway, who is trying hard to get past her life that she left. She will help women she comes across by helping them being free, in a small and quaint neighbourhood.
The webseries also stars Kalyani Chaitanya, Akshaya Shetty, Mishthi Tyagi, Rahul Verma, Dipali Sharma and others. While the other details aren’t yet released, this pretty much seems like it will tackle social issues, especially which leaves women in shackles and burdened with their lives. The show already is making news for having a woman as the lead actor and no male to accompany her. That’s the power Ekta Kapoor holds, she can lead a whole team of women without having to lean on men.
There was some news floating around that Vidya Balan might lend her sensuous voice for the phone dating operator part, but it is still not confirmed. Vidya was launched by Ekta Kapoor back in the 90s with the cult daily soap “Hum Paanch”. But at the moment, her joining the cast is just speculation.
If Ekta Kapoor doesn’t rely on erotica taking over almost all of her web-series, this can be an actual breakthrough which will show women leading the way. Only the upcoming teaser and trailer will be able to give us a better idea on how she will be taking the show ahead.
