‘O Saathi Re’: Imtiaz Ali’s Series With Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary and Arjun Rampal Sets Release Date
Imtiaz Ali’s next series, “O Saathi Re”, is set to premiere on Netflix on December 4, 2026. Starring Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary and Arjun Rampal, the romantic drama explores the changing dynamics of a relationship as a couple moves towards divorce.
Created and written by Ali, the series follows two people negotiating love, separation and the unequal expectations within a relationship. It examines questions of personal identity, individual desires and power dynamics, while looking at how affection can evolve even as two people prepare to part ways.
Ali described “O Saathi Re” as a modern romance with a vintage heart, centred on the unexpected ways in which affection can emerge. Speaking about the story, he said it explores the growth of affection between a divorcing couple, while acknowledging that love and equality do not always coexist within a relationship.
