Vikramaditya Motwane recently announced his upcoming period drama series, Jubilee. The Prime Video series, which is set parallel to the evolution of both India and the Hindi film industry, is a layered drama, interwoven with multiple characters — a studio boss, his movie-star wife, a trusted aide, a rising star, a nautch girl, and a refugee — and their dreams and ambitions. The series stars Prosenjit Chatterjee, Aparshakti Khurana, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sidhant Gupta, Wamiqa Gabbi, Ram Kapoor and Nandish Sandhu.
Sidhant plays dreamy-eyed director Jay Khanna in the series. Sharing his first reaction after reading the script, the actor said, “I read the script and felt that my character was incredibly well-written. I always felt like there was this magic about him, like the child in him brings out the child in everyone around him. He doesn’t know how to give up no matter what life throws at him. He’s here to play and he trusts his heart. It was fascinating playing him and I felt a change as human being.”
Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, Jubilee is created by Soumik Sen along with Motwane and is produced by Andolan Films in association with Reliance Entertainment and Phantom Studios.
The 10-episode series will stream exclusively on Prime Video starting Part 1 on April 7 and Part 2 on April 14.
