The streaming giant had announced in 2019 that it has ordered the series Messy from creator Patel. It follows an aspiring female stand-up comic, as she struggles to make a career in stand-up while juggling a taxing job with a boorish boss, over-meddling parents and a complicated love life.
The show, which also has Ravi Patel starring as co-actor with Swara, is co-written with Neel Shah. Co-producers include David Bernad and Ruben Fleischer’s The District and Seher Aly Latif and Shivani Saran’s Mutant Films.
Ravi Patel is the U.S. based creator of Meet The Patels, a well-received movie in the west.
Messy has apparently completed production and is now in post-production.
The official logline for Messy on Netflix reads –
“A single 20-something juggles her buttoned-up boss, persistent parents and knotty love life while finding a voice in Mumbai’s stand-up comedy scene”.
