Konkona Sen Sharma’s Comedy Series Locks Aditi Rao Hydari And Barun Sobti As Leads (EXCLUSIVE)
Leads are locked for Konkona Sen Sharma's maiden web series. Aditi Rao Hydari (‘Heeramandi’, ‘Jubilee’) and Barun Sobti (‘Asur’, ‘Kohrra’) will headline Konkona's comedy show for Amazon Prime Video, Variety India has learned exclusively.
She directs the show alongside Jaydeep Sarkar, who previously helmed projects like ‘Feels Like Ishq’ (2021) and ‘Rainbow Rishta’ (2023).
Konkona, who was looking for a fresh, young pairing, found the perfect fit in Aditi and Barun—two popular stars with strong individual fan followings in the romance genre, and who have never shared screen space together. The entertainment industry was already brimming with excitement for Konkona’s web series directorial debut, and this casting has only added to that.
Plot details have been kept tightly under wraps, but the show is stated to be a contemporary romantic comedy set against the vibrant backdrop of South Delhi. Shooting has commenced and the show is likely to premiere in late 2026 or early 2027.
