Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali describes his upcoming romantic series ‘O Saathi Re’ as a “modern romantic show with a vintage heart”. Starring Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary and Arjun Rampal, the series is set to premiere on Netflix on December 4.
Created, written and showrun by Ali, the Window Seat Films production is directed by Arif Ali. It explores the complexities of love and relationships through the story of a divorcing couple whose affection for each other continues to evolve despite an unequal relationship.
Speaking about the series, Imtiaz said love could emerge in unexpected ways and that the story examines how affection develops even as a relationship moves towards separation.
“O Saathi Re is a modern romantic show with a vintage heart. Sometimes, love surprises you by showing itself in the most unexpected corners. This is the story of the growth of affection in a divorcing couple,” he said.
