Mumbai: Disney+ Hotstar just dropped the trailer of the thrilling drama series, Reeta Sanyal, starring the fabulous Adah Sharma along with the talented ensemble cast including Ankur Rathee, Rahul Dev, and Manik Papneja.
Lawyer by profession, and detective by heart, Reeta Sanyal brings a fresh, quirky twist with a breath of fresh air.
Produced by Rajeshwar Nair and Krishnan Iyer under the banner of Keylight Productions and directed by Abhirup Ghosh, Reeta Sanyal is based on the character created by the acclaimed writer Amit Khan.
Talking about the series, Director Abhirup Ghosh said, "As the Director of Reeta Sanyal, I'm thrilled to bring this intricate blend of courtroom drama, pulp fiction, and detective work to life. Reeta Sanyal is a true blue masala show that has everything that we Indian audiences like to watch, ranging from comedy to revenge; from action to thrills; from romance to bromance. Our talented ensemble cast, led by Adah Sharma, has poured their hearts into these characters.”
“With Reeta, we wanted to present an edgy character with a quirky flair and intelligence resembling Adah in reality. Reeta navigates moral complexities and complicated mysteries in a way that’s both entertaining and thought-provoking. Adah poured her infectious energy into Reeta and steered the narrative in an exciting direction. I can't wait for everyone to experience the dynamic storytelling and emotional depth we’ve crafted together, premiering October 14,” Ghosh added.
Adah Sharma who essays the role of Reeta Sanyal said, “Playing Reeta Sanyal was a crazy experience for me. She’s sharp, fearless, and always one step ahead. Reeta’s sense of humour even in serious situations is something I resonated with the most.
“ As an actor I'm trying to play characters I haven't played before and in Reeta Sanyal I got to be so many people. Legally ! Reeta is a master of disguises and I can't wait for the audience to watch her in different get-ups speaking in different accents. I've used some voices inspired by some famous people too so I think the audience is in for a laugh riot. The unique thing about this show is that there isn't any movie or show I can draw comparisons to," Sharma said.
Rahul Dev said, “Playing Thakral has been a rewarding experience. A devil’s advocate carrying a big reputation, he's feared & respected by most in the legal circles. He operates in the gray areas of legality and blurs the lines between legal and illegal. He is the bane of Reeta’s life. While essaying Thakral's part, I was able to explore spoken word(dialogues) which went beyond the scope of real life. I am thankful to Abhirup, our director, whose inputs constantly manoeuvred the course of the character.”
Ankur Rathee commented, “Reeta Sanyal is made up of unconventional characters in a fantastical world. My character, Jai, is a quirky yet charming police inspector. He aids Reeta’s investigation and their flirtatious dynamic leaves us constantly wondering “Will they or won’t they?” It only adds to the layers of tension, suspense, and theatrics that drive the story forward. I’m thrilled to bring this character to life and I can’t wait for the audience to experience the unfolding drama alongside him.”
Manik Papneja said, “Reeta Sanyal is a hatke show, and playing a character at the center of this strategic chaos was thrilling. My character supports and balances Reeta’s quirky unpredictability, which shines on screen. Working with Adah was a blast—her energy is impeccable, and our off-screen rapport made it easy to build natural chemistry on set. We shared plenty of laughs, which helped create the strong bond our characters have.”
