The biggest ever web series to come out of Indian soil on Amazon Prime – Dongri To Dubai – will roll next month. The show features Laila Majnu actor Avinash Tiwari, Kay Kay Menon and Angira Dhar, among others. Shujaat Saudagar, who directed Rock On 2 for Excel Entertainment, is directing the web series.
“Avinash is playing the role of Dawood Ibrahim in the film. There are others like Lakshya Kochhar, Prachee Shah and Jitin Gulati, among a host of other faces. The cost of the show is high because of the scale of the project. Earlier, Amazon Prime had done The Family Man with Raj And DK and before that, they had done Inside Edge again with Excel Entertainment, and they too were very high-budgeted properties. But the kind of investments that Amazon Prime is making in Dongri to Dubai is mind-boggling,” says a source.
Rishi Kapoor had interestingly played a character inspired by Dawood Ibrahim in D-Day, and now we have another actor donning the greasepaint for the same role.
