Only and only if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were alive then he could see that his character Sherlock Holmes is timeless even after more than a century. It is perhaps the most played character on screen and why not? It is after all the main inspiration behind a myriad of similar characters that started emerging in the 20th century.
Regardless, years ago we informed our readers that a Desi Sherlock Holmes is in development and it would be in the form of a web series. Well, there is finally an update and we have gotten four important things.
The title, the platform, the cast and the first look.
So, the title of the series would be Shekhar Home. It is quite funny to be honest and doesn’t reciprocate the seriousness that the character of Sherlock Holmes carried in his personality. If the character is nicely adapted then we don’t think people would even mind a name that doesn’t sound like “Sherlock Holmes”.
Coming to the platform, it would be streaming on JioCinema.
Now, what about the cast?
Well, Shekhar Home stars Kay Kay Menon in the lead role. Apart from him, we will see Rasika Duggal, Ranveer Shorey, Kriti Kulhari, Usha Uthup, and Divyendu Bhattacharya.
Although we do not have any specific release date, but here is the first look from the series.
