JioCinema has a huge lineup of movies and shows and it is releasing teasers and trailers of brand new projects incessantly. Today Ali Abbas Zafar and Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Bloody Daddy’ trailer was released. Apart from that, the teaser of another new show ‘UP 65’ has been released.
UP 65 will be available to watch for free and it will not need a premium subscription. The show will premiere on the 8th of June.
The show will mostly have new or unknown faces of the OTT industry or actors who are more active in the television space, like Pritam Jaiswal, Rishabh Jaiswal, Satyam Tiwari, Abbas Ali Ghaznavi, Sharat Sonu, Jay Thakkar, Anmol Jyotir and Abhishake Jha. It is directed by Gaganjeet Singh and produced by Akash Chawla and Arunava Joy Sengupta. The screenplay is written by Nikhil Sachan.
UP 65 is adapted from the Hindi novel of the same name, written by Nikhil Sachan, who is also the screenwriter of the show. The book revolves around Banaras and tells the story of a student of engineering in IIT-BHU. It narrates the story of how an engineer is frustrated with the education system and goes on to do something on his own. It shows a glimpse into the spicy life of Banaras and the free culture for students there.
Whether the concept and writing style of the novel is criticized many times, there is no doubt that it is quite popular among young readers. So it is safe to say that a web adaptation might as well find a good audience, given that the show will be available for free.
