I feel if women come under one roof, they can create magic. And, yes, something similar called Hush Hush is about to stream on Amazon Prime Video from September 22. Starring Juhi Chawla, Kritika Kamra, Soha Ali Khan and Sahana Goswani, the series is a dramatic thriller led by a female-first cast and crew. The project has been produced by Vikram Malhotra-led Abundantia Entertainment and co-created by acclaimed director Tanuja Chandra.
Check out the announcement here:
The seven-episode thriller series also stars Ayesha Julka and Karishma Tanna in the prominent roles.
Hush Hush revolves around a set of women whose picture-perfect lives begin to come undone when an unexpected event brings to the fore secrets from their past and threatens everything that’s dear to them. Knitted in a web of lies, deceit and fighting patriarchy, the story explores the storm that brews behind the seemingly quiet façade of the privileged lives of these women.
Last year the makers had shared this video:
What makes Hush Hush even more unique is that it features a cast and crew primarily comprising women, right from the Production Designer, the Costume Designer, the Associate Producer, the Co-producer, to teams in the Art, Costume, Production and even the Security functions.
Acclaimed writer Juhi Chaturvedi (Gulabo Sitabo, Piku, Sardar Uddham Singh) has written the dialogues, Kopal Naithani has directed two episodes in this season and Tanuja Chandra double-hats as director and executive producer. Additionally, story has been written by Shikhaa Sharma (Jalsa, Shakuntala Devi, Sherni) who is also one of the Executive Producers on the series.
Well, I feel the makers are proud champions of female-first narratives – stories of and around powerful women, told by equally powerful voices of Indian cinema.
