Jaya Bachchan to star in OTT series 'Sadabahar'

After son Abhishek, Jaya Bachchan to foray into the web with 'Sadabahar'

While Amitabh Bachchan’s 'Gulabo Sitabo' (2020) became the first Hindi film to pursue an OTT premiere, Abhishek Bachchan was the first in the fold to explore digital entertainment with 'Breathe: Into The Shadows'. Now, close on the heels of her actor son, Jaya Bachchan is set to dive into the OTT world. The veteran actor has apparently given her nod to an Endemol Shine India project, tentatively titled 'Sadabahar'. Sources suggest that Bachchan had begun shooting for the series in February before the lockdown was imposed in mid-April. With the restrictions being eased over the past three weeks, work is calling the senior actor again.  

A source from the unit reveals, “The team shot at Sony Mony and Apna Bazar in Andheri this week. The story is being shot in real locations, and the makers are mindful of keeping the crew to a bare minimum. A unit of 50 has been handpicked for the bio-bubble shoot.” The project marks her return to the screen after R Balki’s 'Ki & Ka' (2016), in which she made a special appearance.
