Sheeba Chaddha joins Riz Ahmed's new comedy series

SHEEBA CHADDHA, best known for her role in the hit series Mirzapur, has joined the cast of an upcoming comedy series led by British star Riz Ahmed. The untitled project, a half-hour series created by Ahmed, is being developed under his production company Left Handed, as part of their first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios.

According to entertainment news outlet Variety, Chaddha joined the show's cast along with Aasiya Shah and Sajid Hasan as well as recently announced member Guz Khan.


The details of her role have been kept under wraps.

Chaddha is best known for appearing in three seasons of smash hit Prime Video series Mirzapur as well as critically-acclaimed movies such as Badhaai Do, Doctor G, Pagglait, Gully Boy and Badhaai Ho.

Ahmed will serve as a writer and co-showrunner with Ben Karlin.

The new show follows Shah Latif (Ahmed), a struggling actor on the cusp of landing the role of a lifetime, only to find himself thrust into a full blown existential crisis and trippy conspiracy thriller all at the same time.

The series will mark Ahmed's return to the television scene after he starred in The Night Of, for which he won an Emmy award, as well as Girls.

Jax Media and Amazon MGM Studios are backing the show, which is executive produced by Ahmed and Allie Moore for Left Handed, Jake Fuller for Jax Media, Karlin and Roopesh Parekh. (PTI)
