Aditi Rao Hydari, Aparshakti Khurana's Web Series 'Jubilee' Is An Ode To Golden Age Of Cinema

Jubilee, directed by Vikramditya Motwane, has overtones of early Bollywood, particularly given its connection to Bombay Talkies and Devika Rani.

The movie is set in 1947 in Bombay, where the newly independent country is enthralled by the movie stars.

The proprietor of Roy Talkies is played by Prosenjit Chatterjee; his wife, Aditi Rao Hydari, is having an affair with Madan Kumar (Nandish Sandhu). The enraged studio boss orders Binod, played by Aparshakti Khurana, to bring her boyfriend to him.

After a sequence of circumstances, Binod replaces Madan after the two of them are involved in a car accident, and he goes on to become a well-liked movie star.

But, as he has little control over his life, Binod finally starts to feel the cost of fame. Young musician Nilofer is portrayed by Wamiqa Gabbi in the movie, and Sidhant Gupta portrays promising director Jay Khanna, who aspires to collaborate with the legendary "Madan Kumar." As Madan and Jay's champion, Ram Kapoor is also a member of the cast.

¡°I am thrilled beyond words with the way the show has turned out. The genesis has come from how assistant directors feel on a set for the first time. Like when you walk on the sets, you feel the lights, you feel the crew, the people, who are doing something special. You see the movie in two hours, but it takes years to do it. It is part of magic, it is a tribute to what we do every day. It is a love letter to cinema, the golden age of cinema, to movies, the makers,¡± the filmmaker told reporters.

The first half of the show, which consists of episodes 1 through 5, will debut on April 7. The second half, which consists of episodes 6 through 10, will release on Prime Video on April 14. In collaboration with Phantom Studios, Reliance Entertainment, and Andolan Films, Jubilee is developed.
