4th April 2023, Mumbai: The Amazon Original series Jubliee, which is helmed by Vikramaditya Motwane, will debut on April 7 according to a Friday announcement made by Prime Video. Motwane is in charge of directing the 10-episode drama. Also, he and Soumik Sen co-created the programme. The script’s dialogue was written by Atul Sabharwal.
According to the official synopsis, Jubilee is a thrilling yet poetic drama set against the backdrop of the golden age of Indian cinema. It centres on a cast of characters and the risks they’re ready to take in order to pursue their goals, passions, ambitions, and loves.
The series is produced in association with Phantom Studios, Reliance Entertainment, and Andolan Productions. The star-studded cast includes Prosenjit Chatterjee, Aditi Rao Hydari, Aparshakti Khurana, Wamiqa Gabbi, Sidhant Gupta, Nandish Sandhu, and Ram Kapoor.
Jubilee pays tribute to all the artists and technicians who create this magic for us on screen as it celebrates the beauty of film. “Three young protagonists are followed through their struggles as they embark on a quest to join the film industry,” according to a statement from Aparna Purohit, head of India Originals at Amazon Video.
“Love, resentment, deceit, and passionate ambition are all abundant in the plot. You will be transported to the dazzling 1940s and 1950s Hindi cinema industry’s golden age thanks to Vikramaditya Motwane’s artistic brilliance and Amit Trivedi’s heartfelt music compositions. We can’t wait to share Jubilee with the rest of the world since it is a series of which we are incredibly proud,” Purohit further added.
The series will debut on Amazon Video in two parts: part one (episodes 1–5) will go live on April 7 and part two (episodes 6–10) will be available on April 14.
As a concept, Jubliee, according to Motwane, has been with him since since he began working in the film industry as an assistant director. “While the series is set in that renowned period of cinema, Jubilee is really a very human story with narrative themes that will resonate with everyone, which is what initially drew me to the script,” Motwane stated in an interview.
“To keep the series genuine to its time period, we diligently researched every facet of it. With the help of a fantastic studio, some of the most wonderful actors, and the best team ever, it has been the most remarkable experience. Working on this series has been a pleasure every day, and I can’t wait for the world to see what we’ve all accomplished,” the creator-director stated.
Amazon subscribers in 240 countries, including India, will be able to stream Jubliee.
