Sushmita Sen keyed up about digital debut with Disney+Hotstar series Aarya

Former Miss World and Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen, who has been away from movies for several years now, is gearing up to mark her acting comeback. The talented actress will soon be making her digital debut with an upcoming webseries Aarya, slated to premiere on Disney+Hotstar.

Written and directed by Ram Madhvani of Neerja (2016) fame, Aarya brings Sen back before cameras after a long gap of five years. She was last seen on the silver screen in a Bengali film called Nirbaak (2015), and before that in filmmaker Anees Bazmee’s Bollywood comic-caper No Problem (2010).


Announcing her comeback on Instagram last year, Sen had written, “I have always been in awe of the love that knows patience. This alone makes me a fan of my fans. They have waited 10 long years for my return to the screen, and lovingly encouraging me every step of the way throughout my hiatus... unconditionally! I return just for you.”

On Tuesday, the makers dropped the teaser of the much-awaited webseries on the social media accounts of Disney+Hotstar. It was captioned, “New home, new ropes. Sushmita Sen in & as Aarya. In the teaser, we can see Sushmita Sen working out in an apartment. Her face is revealed at the end of the video.

The actress is psyched up about the series. Asking fans to guess what the show is about, she wrote on Instagram, “Now it is your turn to tell me, what you think Aarya is about? Tell me in the comments below and the lucky one who comes closest to guessing it right goes live with me here on Instagram very, very soon.”

According to reports, Aarya is a remake of the Dutch series Penoza (2010).

Amazon’s ‘God of War’ reset proves Hollywood can’t get video game adaptations right

Highlights

  • Dave Bautista is taking over as Kratos after Ryan Hurst's injury forced Amazon to recast the role.
  • The series is effectively starting again, with none of the footage from the original production being used.
  • The major reset puts fresh pressure on Amazon's attempt to adapt one of gaming's most recognisable franchises.

Hollywood's relationship with video game adaptations has changed considerably in recent years. Shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout have demonstrated that games can translate successfully to television when their characters and worlds are treated with care. Amazon's God of War, however, has already encountered a production setback that makes its journey to the screen considerably more complicated.

Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Kratos in the Prime Video series after Ryan Hurst, who was originally cast in the role, suffered a serious on-set injury. Hurst reportedly tore his bicep while performing a stunt in June, around four months into filming. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television subsequently decided to recast the central role.
