Soup: Manoj Bajpayee, Konkona Sensharma Leading the Netflix series by Abhishek Chaubey. See the first look

Abhishek Chaubey will return to Netflix – alongside Manoj Bajpayee and Konkona Sensharma. On Friday, the world’s largest subscription-based video streaming service announced Soup, a dark comedy crime drama based on a true incident. We also have a first look video. Soup is “the story of Swathi Shetty (Sensharma), an incompetent chef who dreams of one day having her own restaurant. But her dubious husband Prabhakar (Bajpayee) won’t help her aspirations and doubts himself. Before long, fate gave her a chance and she began to draw up a master plan. But things don’t go as planned, as fickle characters and amateur villains spoil the broth. ”

Besides Bajpayee and Sensharma, Chaubey’s Netflix series Soup also stars Nasser, Sayaji Shinde and Lal. Chaubey, 44, created the Soup with Unaiza Merchant, Anant Tripathi and Harshad Nalawade. Chaubey is also the host and director of Soup.

Honey Trehan and Chetana Kowshik were selected as producers. Soup is a product of Chaubey and Trehan’s Macguffin Pictures, which previously made the 2020 crime thriller Raat Akeli Hai for Netflix, with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte.

This will be Chaubey’s first Netflix series, after two short films on Netflix in 2021: “Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa” in Ray also with Bajpayee, and Ankahi Kahaniya’s “Madhyantar” with Rinku Rajguru.

Chaubey is known for directing the drama film 2019 Sonchiriya with Bajpayee, Sushant Singh Rajput, Bhumi Pednekar and Ranvir Shorey, and 2016 crime drama Udta Punjab with Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh.

“Working with Netflix for Soup has been really exciting and I’m excited to share our story with audiences around the world,” Chaubey said in a prepared statement. “We had a great experience filming Manoj, Konkona, and the entire Soup cast and crew, and can’t wait to introduce these uniquely styled characters.”

Soup is coming to Netflix in India and worldwide.
