The trailer of the upcoming coming-of-age OTT series Big Girls Don't Cry was released by the makers on Wednesday. The young-adult series is set in an all-girls boarding school and features an ensemble cast of Avantika Vandanapu (as Ludo), Aneet Padda (Roohi), Dalai (Pluggy), Vidushi (Kavya), Lhakyila (JC), Afrah Sayed (Noor), and Akshita Sood (Dia), along with Bodhisattva Sharma, Pooja Bhatt, Raima Sen, Zoya Hussain, and Mukul Chadda in pivotal roles.
The series is created by Nitya Mehra (Made in Heaven, Baar Baar Dekho), and it is directed by Nitya along with Sudhanshu Saria, Karan Kapadia, and Kopal Naithani.
The trailer gives a glimpse into the boarding life at the prestigious Vandana Valley school, where a group of seven girls are gearing up for their final year with every intention of ruling the campus. An outsider, Kavya Yadav, walks onto the campus, hoping to make friends and ace life. Noor has her eyes set on the school captaincy, while Ludo is chasing down the sports captaincy position. As Roohi and JC push for their beauty business to succeed, Pluggy has grand plans of her own, and the rebel-poet Dia prepares to jump the boundary of the school wall before the class bell rings.
“I said yes to Big Girls Don’t Cry because I was drawn to the story, the setting, and the characters in it. As a rebellious teenager who never shied away from speaking my mind and questioning authority, it was such a kick to play Anita Verma. What I loved was that within the series, the characters developed a healthy sense of self and strive to overcome gender bias and stereotypes," said Pooja Bhatt, who plays the role of the principal of Vandana Valley.
Creator and director Nitya said, “Big Girls Don’t Cry is my homage to the best years of my life. It’s an homage to my best friends, to sisterhood, and to the young girls that inspire me every day.”
The series premieres on Prime Video on March 14.
