It is a dream factory that has given birth to countless iconic films and stars, and has shaped the cultural landscape of India for generations. Now, Amazon Prime Video is set to take us on a journey to the very roots of Bollywood with their upcoming original series, Jubilee.
Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and created by Soumik Sen along with Motwane, Jubilee is a 10-episode fictional drama that explores the stories and dreams that gave birth to the Hindi film industry as we know it today. The series is set in the 1930s, a time when the film industry was still in its infancy, and focuses on the lives of the people who were instrumental in shaping it.
At the center of it all is Prosenjit Chatterjee, the Bengali cinema’s superstar who plays the suave studio honcho ‘Srikant Roy’. Roy is the power, prestige, and pride at Roy Talkies, one of the most prominent studios in the film industry at the time. Chatterjee is a seasoned actor with decades of experience in the Bengali film industry, and his performance as Roy is a testament to his talent and versatility.
