Dharmatic, the digital arm of Dharma Productions, is collaborating with Netflix for another riveting anthology, Ajeeb Daastaans. The series of short films will bring together popular Bollywood’s directors like Raj Mehta, Neeraj Ghaywan Shashank Khaitan and Kyoze Irani ( Boman Irani’s son)
While Raj made his directorial debut with 2019’s Good Newwz, Shashank is known for hits such as Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania starring Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. While this will mark Raj and Shashank’s digital debut, Neeraj Ghaywan of Masaan fame, had directed the Sartaj Singh storyline on Sacred Games season 2.
Aditi Rao Hydari will play a protagonist in one of the segments of the anthology, and National Award winner, Konkona Sen Sharma, will lead another one. Manav Kaul, Inayat Verma, Fatima Sana Sheikh, and Shefali Shah will also be joining Netflix’s Ajeeb Daastaans cast. The makers revealed that each of the shorts would focus on showcasing completely different sides of “the other” angle in relationships and their complexities. Moreover, the core theme of each short movie would be in the “third person” in a relationship, the one who breaks or perhaps completes it. The makers of the film also added that such films dive into the various complexities of human relationships.
