Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, also known as Raj & DK, are joining hands with Netflix for Guns & Gulaabs, a comedy-crime-thriller series.
The duo, who are working with the streaming giant for the first time via their banner D2R Films, has written the quirky series with Suman Kumar and Sumit Arora.
According to a statement by the makers, Guns & Gulaabs is 'inspired by the misfits of the world' as a 'story that depicts love and innocence, set in a world of crime''. It also stated that the “series is set to uniquely blend the romance of the 1990s with a crime thriller while effortlessly lacing it in humour”.
Speaking about their upcoming collaboration with Netflix, Raj & DK said, “Netflix has always been a pioneering service offering constantly cutting-edge content. And we are super thrilled to associate with them on our latest venture! Last year, we had a great outing on Netflix with our indie gem, Cinema Bandi (2021). And now we look forward to a larger collaboration on our first Netflix series, Guns & Gulaabs. We are especially thrilled to roll out this wicked genre mash with some of the finest cast and crew from our country.”
Tanya Bami, series head at Netflix India, said, “We are delighted to partner with the finest creators Raj Nidimoru & Krishna DK for a series, as distinct as their creative voice, Guns & Gulaabs. Bringing their unique storytelling style to Netflix, Raj & DK blend romance, crime and the inimitable humour that’s signature to the duo into Guns & Gulaabs, which will captivate audiences in India and across the world.”
The cast of this upcoming series has yet to be announced. Rajkummar Rao recently indicated on social media that he was “starting something very exciting” with the creative duo, but did not name the project.
Raj & DK have already worked on two seasons of the popular and critically acclaimed Amazon Prime Video series The Family Man starring Manoj Bajpayee as an unassuming husband and father who is also a valued intelligence officer.
The filmmakers are also working on an untitled series starring Shahid Kapoor and Raashii Khanna for Amazon Prime Video. The duo is also developing the Indian version of Amazon Prime Video's web-series Citadel. Joe and Anthony Russo have been working on the American version, which stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden.
