TIL Desk Entertainment/ India’s entertainment Super App, MX Player has been enthralling viewers with a dynamic array of storylines across formats, genres, and languages. Amping up its robust library of original series, MX Player is all set to entice viewers with the launch of the high octane crime thriller ‘Dharavi Bank’. Directed by SamitKakkad, this 10 episodic series sees Suniel Shetty make his digital debut as the ruthless and unattainable Thalaivan who is hunted by tough cop JCP Jayant Gavaskar portrayed by Vivek Anand Oberoi. Dharavi Bank will stream from19thNovember, 2022 on MX Player.
Bringing alive the unending stretch of narrow dirty lanes, open sewers and cramped huts of Dharavi in an intense chase, the show narrates the story of a cop trying to topple over a powerful gangster, who is the de facto government in Mumbai. Highlighting how far one can do for one’s family and duty towards the nation, Dharavi Bank is a complex story that goes beyond just bringing down a crime empire. With good amounts of action, emotion, and mayhem, for each of them, this is a fight for family, for honor, for power, and for duty – but who will have the last say?”
On the launch of this web series, Gautam Talwar – Chief Content Officer at MX Player, said, “We’ve associated with some of the finest talent in the industry to bring alive this complicated tale from the maze that Dharavi is. Marking Suniel Shetty’s debut in a negative role and Vivek Anand Oberoi essaying a cop with gray shades, this series is supported by an ensemble of power packed performers with each actor adding their own shade to this unconventional thriller. At MX Player, it has been our constant endeavor to narrate stories that are compelling and we strive to create meaningful content for audiences. With our recent originals like Aashram, MatsyaKaand and Campus Diaries – our content has successfully created resonance while truly reflecting our audiences’ viewing habits.”
Director SamitKakkad further added saying, “This is my second association with MX Player after IndoriIshq and I truly believe that we’ve pulled out all the stops to make this crime thriller an interesting watch. I can’t think of another metropolis that feels, looks, smells and emotionally sucks you in the way Mumbai does. I am a Matunga boy and I’ve grown up in the vicinity of Dharavi so it was important for me to portray its lesser known world aesthetically to our audiences. There’s so much more to Dharavi than its winding bylanes and there’s so much more than meets the eye for each of our characters in this gripping narrative.”
Produced by Zee Studios, the series also features a stellar cast comprising of Sonali Kulkarni, Luke Kenny, Freddy Daruwala, Shanthi Priya, Santosh Juvekar, Nagesh Bhosle, Siddharth Menon, Hitesh Bhojraj, SamiksshaBatnagar, Rohit Pathak, Jaywant Wadkar, Chinmay Mandlekar, Bhavvana Rao, Shruti Srivastava, Sandhya Shetty, Pavitra Sarkar and Vamsi Krishna in key roles.
