Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has tied up with Netflix for a multi-year series partnership following the former's maiden collaboration with the streaming platform for crime drama series Scoop.
Scoop took inspiration from the book Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison by crime journalist Jogna Vora. The series stars Karishma Tanna in the lead role. However, the upcoming content slate that will be produced with the tie-up is yet to be revealed.
"As a filmmaker, the idea of creating diverse and dynamic stories constantly keeps me on my toes. What excites me about this partnership with Netflix, which is home to some of the finest talent, is the potential for my work to reach viewers across the world," Mehta said.
Monika Shergill of Netflix India mentioned, "Hansal is a master of his craft and has an eye for spotting stories that have a broad appeal and are relevant to a wide audience. Being a nuanced storyteller, he is able to tell these stories like no one else.”
