Renowned filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani is gearing up to mark his debut in the digital streaming space with an upcoming series on Disney+Hotstar. As a showrunner for the series, Hirani has enlisted the talents of actor Vikrant Massey for a key role.
Rajkumar Hirani’s Digital Venture
Rajkumar Hirani confirmed his foray into OTT during a recent virtual interaction with PTI. He shared insights about the forthcoming project, stating, “I’m doing an OTT show, which we actually start shooting this month. I’m a showrunner for that, I’m not directing it. It’s a show for Hotstar (Disney Plus Hotstar), and Vikrant Massey is playing a role in it.”
Hirani expressed enthusiasm about the project, noting, “It’s something I’m very happy about, with the script and the way it has panned out. On this show, I’m really involved, and it’s in my own space.”
What About ‘Munnabhai’?
Addressing the much-anticipated ‘Munnabhai’ series, Hirani revealed that while he is eager to continue the franchise, the focus remains on crafting a compelling narrative. He disclosed, “It’s not that I don’t want to do it, 100 per cent I want to do it because I had fun making those films. After every film, I’ve tried to write one ‘Munnabhai’. So, I have five unfinished Munna Bhai scripts lying with me with various titles.” Hirani also expressed his desire to reunite with actors Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi for the project.
Hirani’s Recent Work
Meanwhile, Rajkumar Hirani’s latest cinematic offering, ‘Dunki’, continues its theatrical run, adding another feather to the filmmaker’s illustrious cap.
With Rajkumar Hirani stepping into the OTT arena and collaborating with Vikrant Massey, the upcoming series on Disney+Hotstar is undoubtedly set to be a marquee event in the digital entertainment landscape.
