When Homi Adjania decides to make a film, rest assured that it will be markedly different from the usual fare churned out by Bollywood. His film slate includes movies such as Cocktail, Finding Fanny, Being Cyrus, all decidedly unique. So it’s quite obvious that when the writer-director makes his debut in the digital domain, it’ll be one-of-a-kind.
In an interaction with the media about his upcoming release Angrezi Medium, Homi Adjania announced that the next project he’ll take up after Angrezi Medium will be his web series debut, titled Saas Bahu Aur Cocaine. The series will be about a bunch of feisty women who run a drug cartel from their backyard, even as the men of their family live and work out of town. The series will be set in the backdrop of sleepy Kutch.
There have been several shows that show men running a successful drug business. But women? The only series we can think of that comes close to Saas Bahu Aur Cocaine in premise is the Israeli series ‘Queens’, which, by the way, is being remade in the USA by a prominent production house.
The writing part of the series is almost complete. Adjania will start scouting for his cast soon enough. When asked if he has any actors in mind for the predominantly female cast, he mentioned that Tabu and Radhika Apte are on his wish list. He would also like to work again with his Angrezi Medium actress Radhika Madan.
The bold, funny and gritty series will be made under the aegis of Hotstar, in its Hotstar Specials category.
