The comedy crime-drama will star Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sensharma in the lead roles
Filmmaker Abhishek Chaubey on Friday announced that he will be working on "Soup", a comedy crime-drama starring Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sensharma, for Netflix.
The filmmaker, known for his critically-acclaimed movies such as "Ishqiya", "Dedh Ishqiya" and "Sonchiriya", has previously collaborated with the streamer on anthology movies "Ray" and "Ankahi Kahaniyan" besides producing "Raat Akeli Hai".
"Soup" is headlined by powerful actors like Sensharma and Bajpayee while Chaubey will be the showrunner and director. It is Baypayee's third collaboration with the director after "Sonchiriya" and the "Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa" segment in "Ray".
The dark-comedy crime series is produced by Macguffin Pictures with Honey Trehan and Chetana Kowshik attached as producers.
Actors Nasser, Sayaji Shinde and Lal round off the cast.
Loosely based on a true-life incident, "Soup" is the story of Swathi Shetty (Konkona Sensharma), an incompetent cook who dreams of having a restaurant of her own someday and her suspicious husband, Prabhakar (Manoj Bajpayee) who won’t help with her aspirations and has doubts of his own.
Soon fate gives her an opportunity and she starts to cook up a master plan. But things don’t go as intended, as whimsical characters and amateur villains ruin the broth.
