Adarsh Gourav, Rajkummar Rao and Dulquer Salmaan to headline Raj & DK’s next for Netflix

Adarsh Gourav, Rajkummar Rao and Dulquer Salmaan to headline Raj & DK’s next for Netflix

Earlier, Diljit Dosanjh was set to star alongside Rao and Gourav.

Adarsh Gourav, the breakout star from The White Tiger (2021), has joined award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao on the cast of an upcoming show that filmmakers Raj & DK are set to helm for streaming media giant Netflix. The untitled series also features well-known Malayalam actor Dulquer Salmaan in a significant role.


While Gourav and Rao have already made their digital debut, Salmaan will foray into the digital space with the upcoming series. Reportedly, the actor had been on the lookout for a good subject to make his streaming debut for two years. And when the makers of this comedy-thriller series approached him, he readily agreed to come onboard. The series, reportedly, revolves around three lead characters and is said to be made on a lavish scale.

Earlier, Diljit Dosanjh was set to star alongside Rao and Gourav. However, the Good Newwz (2019) star opted out of the project citing date issues. His exit led to the entry of Salmaan in the series. The forthcoming venture will mark his fourth Hindi project after Karwaan (2018), The Zoya Factor (2019), and the yet-to-be-released Chup, helmed by R Balki.

If reports are to be believed, the series has already mounted the shooting floor in Dehradun and the team is looking at wrapping it up by March-end in a start-to-finish schedule. More details are expected to arrive soon.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
