A still from Class
Mautik Tolia, director of Bodhitree Multimedia got into conversation with mid-day.com about upcoming projects including season two of Netflix`s `Class.`
Class has been receiving a tremendous response ever since it`s release. People have called it edgy can you share some insights on how this project came to be?
Netflix India wanted to create a show that reaches out to the young adult audiences in India and thought that ‘Elite’ would be a perfect fit given the disparities in India. Bodhitree specialises in young adult content and also international adaptations. So we were approached to make the adaptation. We worked on getting the right adaptation document that did justice to the original but at the same time delved into the realities of India. We decided Delhi was the perfect geographical ecosystem to set this show on as no city clearly has that divide of the ‘have’s’ and have-nots’. We also wanted to create a show that was gritty and real. Till date young adult shows have always been portrayed in a candy floss highly glamorised setups. We wanted to move away from that texture. That is how the talent was brought in and the look / feel was constructed. We also worked with young upcoming musicians to get the vibe of the show right. The soundtrack has been a huge hit and highly appreciated.
Will we see a second season of Class?
Yes there will be second season of Class.
