“Srikant Roy’s look in Jubilee is dedicated to my father,” says Prosenjit Chatterjee for Amazon Original series Jubilee

Prime Video recently announced the fictional drama Jubilee, which has left the audience excited ever since the first look of the series. The Amazon Original series, which is set parallel to the evolution of both India and the Hindi film industry, is a layered drama interwoven with multiple characters—a studio boss, his movie-star wife, a trusted aide, a rising star, a nautch girl, and a refugee—and their dreams and ambitions. It features Bumba Da, aka Bengal cinema’s superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee, as studio head Srikant Roy of the illustrious Roy Talkies. Ever since the announcement of Jubilee, which is also the superstar’s first OTT series, his fans have been excited for the series premiere.

Speaking of this character, the legendary actor shares, "I was living Srikant Roy’s character for 7 months before shooting (due to lockdown), and there were just minor changes when I got back on the sets." In the series, you will see me with a very nice hairstyle. "This is dedicated to my father, Biswajeet Chatterjee; they used to have that kind of styling back in the day."

Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, Jubilee is created by Soumik Sen along with Motwane and produced by Andolan Films in association with Reliance Entertainment and Phantom Studios. The series packs an ensemble cast, including Prosenjit Chatterjee, Aditi Rao Hydari, Aparshakti Khurana, Wamiqa Gabbi, Sidhant Gupta, Nandish Sandhu, and Ram Kapoor. The 10-episode series will stream exclusively on Prime Video starting with Part 1 on April 7 and Part 2 on April 14 across 240+ countries and territories worldwide.
