Rajkumar Hirani is a happy man as his last release Dunki has been a commercial and critical success. The Shah Rukh Khan-Tapsee Pannu starter which released on Christmas last year has grossed over Rs 500 crore at the worldwide box-office.
While it is rumoured that the actor will next collaborate with his Sanju actor Ranbir Kapoor, Hirani has already moved on to his next project an untitled web series which features 12th Fail actor Vikrant Massey in the lead. The show which is directed by Amir Satyaveer Singh who has assisted Hirani in the past, revolves around cybercrime and the actor will be playing the role of cybercrime security expert.
Contrary to popular rumours, Hirani is not only producing the show but will also be the show runner. Confirming the same, the 3 Idiots director exclusively tells News18, “Certain stories require a long format approach and not make into a film. The one which we are working on currently (with Vikrant Massey in the lead) is something that we found during Covid times. I’ll be working as a showrunner on the series and so I’ll be completely involved on the show. It is something that I am very happy about as I am excited about the script and the way it has panned out.”
Ask him if he would like to make his OTT debut soon as a director and he says, “Yes I’d love to when some day I have a story to tell. But honestly, for me the platform doesn’t matter. If it is for a television it should be on TV or if it is a long format, make it for OTT.”
While the details of the show have been kept under wraps, the makers plan to shoot it over a two month long schedule. The series is going to go on floors next month and it will be Massey’s fourth web series after Mirzapur, Broken But Beautiful and Criminal Justice.
