Sushmita Sen to stage comeback with Disney+ Hotstar series

Sushmita Sen, who was last seen in filmmaker Anees Bazmee’s comic-caper No Problem (2010), is set to stage her comeback after a massive gap of a decade. She is returning to acting with a webseries called Aarya. From what we hear the upcoming webseries is set for its grand digital premiere on 29th March. So, if you were waiting to see the former Miss Universe act again, you will not have to wait any longer.

In December last year, Sushmita Sen had announced her comeback to acting with an Instagram post. “They have waited 10 long years for my return to the screen, lovingly encouraging me every step of the way throughout my hiatus... unconditionally! I RETURN JUST FOR YOU!” she had shared.

And now, the news is coming in that Sen will be seen playing the lead role in Aarya, a webseries set against a Rajasthani backdrop. If that was not enough, we also hear that the forthcoming show will mark the entry of Disney+ Hotstar OTT platform in the Indian market.

Spilling some beans on the development, a source in the know informs an entertainment portal, “After the merger of Disney and Fox Star Network, it was a wait and watch journey to see Disney+ and Hotstar merge. Now with Sushmita Sen’s new show Aarya, that will mark her return to acting after a ten-year gap, the Indian market will be introduced to Disney+ Hotstar.”

When asked more about the show, the source divulges, “The show is directed by Ram Madhvani, and the shooting had commenced in December 2019. Set against a Rajasthani backdrop, the show will see Sushmita playing the character of Aarya.”

Aarya is currently being shot in Rajasthan.

It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.
