Known for launching new faces and producing mass entertainment films, Karan Johar has set a reputation for himself that he loves to maintain. Making a jump to an unknown territory, Karan will now be producing a web series based on the life of Bollywood celebrity agents. Although, it’s not revealed who it’s based on, but according to sources it won’t be completely based on real life people. “The show about the agents will be a mix of fact and fiction,” says a trade source. “You cannot show the complete life of one agent, so there will be a mixture — on how the celebrity agents work, manipulate the stars and also get work for the clients of the agency. It will provide details on how these agents operate and will be a tongue in cheek piece,” says a source.
Top Bollywood celebrity agents in the news include Shanoo Sharma of Yash Raj Talent Management, Anirban Blah of Kwan and Reshma Shetty of Matrix and the show is expected to be a mixture of stories from the lives of similar people.
The show is being produced by Dharma’s digital arm called Dharmatic, which is being headed by a former NDTV anchor Aneesha Baig. Sources further inform that Anand Tiwari’s company Still and Still Motion pictures, which had made films like Love Per Square Foot and web shows like Official Chukyagiri and Official CEOgiri before this, will be producing the show along with Karan.
