Saad Khan on creating Disney+ Hotstar mini-series ‘Chattis Aur Maina’
The Hindu
The writer-actor-producer says mini-series will be the next big trend in OTT platforms
Two years ago, Saad Khan’s company, FirstAction Media, merged with the Mumbai-based Rainshine Entertainment. His first project for the parent company was underway soon after. It was the web series version of Humble Politician Nograj, an English-Kannada film he had directed in which his friend, Danish Sait, played the lead role. The series is yet to be released. Then, he wrote two more mini-series for Disney+ Hotstar — Chattis Aur Maina, a rom-com set in North India, and Ankahi Ansuni, a horror-thriller, which is yet to be released. In between these projects, he also managed to stage two improv shows in Bengaluru. . “It has been non-stop writing,” he says over the phone from Mumbai, where he is scouting for locations for another project. He is probably among the few who have been busy during the pandemic. “ I've always wanted to be in a situation where my hands are full with multiple projects. And that's happening now. So, I hope to keep this momentum going.”More Related News
