Mumbai, Nov 12 (PTI) Acclaimed writer-director Sudip Sharma is reuniting with Netflix for the upcoming series "Pushpak Vimaan", featuring actors Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhishek Banerjee and Barun Sobti, his collaborators from "Paatal Lok" and "Kohrra".

    The show marks Sharma's reunion with Ahlawat, the lead star of cult hit series "Paatal Lok" as well as Sobti, who featured in the writer's popular series "Kohrra".

    Banerjee, who featured in the first season of "Paatal Lok", has co-created and co-written "Pushpak Vimaan" with Sharma.

    The crime caper marks a departure from the gritty storytelling associated with Sharma, who has also written films such as "NH10" and "Udta Punjab".

    "Pushpak Vimaan" revolves around an eclectic ensemble of characters and a series of events that spiral beyond their control, with humour emerging from their circumstances and the situations they find themselves in, according to the makers.

    "With 'Pushpak Vimaan', I wanted to explore a very different creative space. It is a crime caper, but one in which the humour comes from the characters, their circumstances and the sheer unpredictability of the situations they find themselves in," Sharma said in a statement.

    "Netflix is where I choose to experiment, and it was the natural home for a story of this nature. It provided the space to explore the genre freely and to bring this unusual ensemble of characters to life," he added.

    Tanya Bami, series head at Netflix India, said the project marks the streaming platform's next collaboration with Sharma, following "Kohrra".

    "With 'Pushpak Vimaan', we're happy to champion Sudip's creativity once again, this time with a comedy series he wrote, showran and directed. It's one hell of a fun ride that we can't wait for our audiences to experience," she said.

    The series is co-created and written by Sharma and Banerjee, and produced by Film Squad Productions LLP. Sharma has also directed the show.
