Stories with women at the centre have been on the rise in Indian entertainment. While that is cause enough for celebration, it is noteworthy that the parts written today are braver and far from conventional. Lara Dutta, who delivered an impressive performance in Bell Bottom earlier this year, is set to ride this wave with Hiccups & Hookups, Lionsgate Play’s first Indian original.
The slice-of-life series is an adaptation of the popular American show, Casual, and revolves around a pair of siblings who navigate the world of dating, love and separation. With the November 26 release, director Kunal Kohli wanted to take another step forward in shattering the industry’s ageist ways. “I play a woman at the crossroads of life who is separating from her husband at 40, trying to raise an opinionated teenage daughter while foraying into online dating and finding love again. It was exciting to explore this role. Today, the roles being written for women are layered and showcase various aspects of life,” states Dutta, who shares screen space with Prateik Babbar.
