Shreyas Talpade to topline a comedy drama on SAB TV

If reports are to be believed, Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade, who is popular for tickling audiences’ funny bones with his performances in the Rohit Shetty-directed blockbuster franchise Golmaal, is gearing up to make a comeback on the small screen after a huge gap.

The actor, who started his acting career with television by appearing in Marathi and Hindi soaps, has been approached to headline an upcoming comedy-drama series, to be aired on SAB TV.


Some insiders inform that the yet-to-be-titled show will be a comedy-drama. It has been planned as a finite series. Since the series is at an initial stage, makers are keeping mum about any development.

Besides Shreyas Talpade, we hear that Archana Puran Singh and her husband Parmeet Sethi have also joined the cast of the show.

More details are awaited.

'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.
