Mumbai, July 31 — Actress Neena Gupta and actor Sumeet Vyas are set to lead the upcoming Netflix series Chumbak, a multi-generational comedy centred on the everyday bonds, oddities and dynamics of a contemporary urban Indian neighbourhood.
The ensemble also features Deven Bhojani, Arjun Bijlani, Helly Shah, Manasi Parekh, Sandeepa Dhar, Sumeet Raghavan, Anant V. Joshi, Amyra Dastur, Delnaaz Irani and Atul Kumar. The series is scheduled to premiere on August 28.
Tanya Bami, Series Head at Netflix India, described the show as the streamer’s latest offering in the comedy genre. “Chumbak is our latest offering in the comedy genre – a genre our members enjoy on Netflix. In our lives today, our neighbours become our extended family and JD & Aatish have created a world to bring this community, its bonds, its oddities, and its dynamics to life. We hope the world of Chumbak and its magnetic characters will feel familiar and lived in as they go through their life grappling with themes like contemporary marriages, modern day parenting, ageing friends and life as a community,” she said.
