It's big news. Preity Zinta, with her husband locked far away in Los Angeles, is now a web series producer for Disney+ Hotstar. The series to be produced by Preity will be directed by writer-turned-director Sandeep Modi, who during the making of Neerja and the web series Aarya was affiliated with Ram Madhavani.
But the most interesting part of this news is that her friend Hrithik Roshan will be starring in Preity's web series. The two co-starred in Koi... Mil Gaya, Hrithik's home production, and they have remained friends ever since. It was only appropriate for her to turn to Hrithik for her first digital production foray.
Says an impeccable source, "Preity thought of her friend Duggu (Hrithik) because he was perfect for the role. She is producing an Indian version of The Night Manager, the celebrated John Le Carre novel. The lead needs to have a dynamic and multi-layered character. Hrithik instantly said yes.
Hrithik's digital debut, as well as Preity's top OTT production, will be the Night Manager on Disney+ Hotstar. We can't wait to see the magic that they create together.
