Disney+ Hotstar recently has been in the news for creating brand new originals. The streaming platform was already a hit amongst the fans with previous web-series but now with the upcoming ones Hotstar is getting into even more family oriented web-series to give everyone something to watch.
The latest addition to their list of upcoming web-series titled “Crime Next Door”. For the series, the makers have already got on board and assembled an ensemble cast. Anupriya Goenka, Sahil Vaid, Mohan Kapur are already onboard the cast. The news has come up that actor Vatsal Seth and Yashpal Sharma have also been locked for the series.
