Netflix has announced Pushpak Vimaan, a new crime caper created by Sudip Sharma, the writer-director known for some of India’s most acclaimed crime dramas, including Paatal Lok, Kohrra, NH10 and Udta Punjab. The upcoming series will feature Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhishek Banerjee and Barun Sobti in the lead roles, and marks a deliberate departure from the intense storytelling style associated with Sharma, as he explores comedy through an ensemble of eccentric characters and unpredictable situations. Co-created and written by Sudip Sharma and Abhishek Banerjee, Pushpak Vimaan is produced by Film Squad Productions LLP, with Saurabh Malhotra as producer. The series is directed by Sharma. According to the makers, Pushpak Vimaan is a crime caper in which humour arises from an eclectic ensemble of characters and a sequence of events that escalates well beyond anyone’s control. The series marks the second creative collaboration between Sudip Sharma and Netflix, following their association on Kohrra. Tanya Bami, Series Head at Netflix India, shared her excitement in announcing the show. Further details about the series, including its release date, episode count and trailer, are awaited. The announcement, made on November 12, is one of the most anticipated ensemble casting announcements in Indian streaming this year, putting three of Hindi OTT’s most dependable actors in the hands of one of its most trusted creators — and asking him to make them funny.
