Homi Adajania jokes that his middle name should be eccentric. The director has a knack for building on wacky themes — be it his debut film Being Cyrus (2005) that revolved around a dysfunctional Parsi family, or his upcoming maiden web series, Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo that tells the story of a matriarch running a drug cartel. Adajania says the idea has been with him since 2014. “I told Dino [Dinesh Vijan, producer] that I want to tell a story about women who are running a cartel, and the men in the family aren’t aware of it,” he laughs.
