Netflix India has announced Call My Agent: Bollywood, an Indian adaptation of the popular French series Dix Pour Cent, produced by Applause Entertainment in association with Banijay Asia.

Commenting on the development, Sameer Nair, CEO, Applause Entertainment, said, “At Applause, it has been our endeavour to curate and create the best stories from across the world. Call My Agent: Bollywood is a show that has been delightfully reimagined to showcase the colourful world of Bollywood through humour and heartwarming emotions.
