“As soon as I read the script, I found it so exciting and thrilling, that I instantly knew it would make for a fascinating watch,” said Mukul Abhyankar, director of Bestseller. “My experience of working with the cast and crew of Bestseller has been amazing, right from the time I read the script to shooting with this exceptionally talented team, at some of the most authentic locations in the country. I am certain the audience is going to love every suspenseful minute of the series and will be left asking for more by the end of the eighth episode. I am delighted that Bestseller will be reaching viewers in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on Amazon Prime Video.”

Speaking about the series, much loved actor Mithun Chakraborty said, “Lokesh Pramanik, my character in Bestseller, is a unique personality with interesting quirks. I enjoyed playing him with all his eccentricities. I also had a great time working with my talented co-stars on the series; everyone worked really hard to bring their characters to life. I couldn’t have asked for a better streaming debut. I have a lot of faith in Mukul Abhyankar and believe he has done a commendable job in developing an extremely entertaining thriller. Bestseller will definitely appeal to suspense and thriller fans across the globe, and I am looking forward to it premiering on Amazon Prime Video.”

“I am thrilled that Bestseller is my full-feature digital debut”, said Shruti Haasan. “When Siddharth Malhotra reached out to me for Bestseller, I was working on a number of projects and wasn’t sure if I could make this commitment, but the moment I went through the script, I couldn’t put it down. I was hooked to the layers in the story and found my character so compelling, that I just had to do it. I always wanted to enter this space with a female lead story and it was an amazing opportunity to play a character I couldn’t pass up. I have worked hard to prepare for my role and I am really looking forward to seeing the audience’s reaction to the series.”

Arjan Bajwa said, “The story of Bestseller is one that will have the audiences completely riveted – each character is so distinct, played to perfection by the very talented cast, expertly guided by the vision of director Mukul Abhyankar. The entire narrative is so intriguing and well layered. I am quite excited about my role as Tahir Wazir, a successful and assertive writer whose life undergoes drastic twists and turns, when he crosses paths with a stranger. Given the multiple layers to the character, it was a challenging role to play but at the same time a fantastic experience as an actor to portray Tahir. I cannot wait for Bestseller to reach viewers across the world.”

“I was probably the first of the cast to come on board the team of Bestseller as Siddharth Malhotra, the producer of the series, saw Mayanka in me,” shared Gauahar Khan. “The character of Mayanka is very multifaceted. She has complex relationships with those around her and strives to strike a balance in her professional and personal life. She is someone a lot of women will identify with. Director Mukul Abhyankar has dealt with the nuances of my character beautifully.”

Satyajeet Dubey said, “It is every actor’s dream to have their work reach out to the widest possible audience and I am excited for the global release of Bestseller on Amazon Prime Video. This was a complicated and challenging role – with multiple layers to the character and I thoroughly enjoyed pushing myself to give it my best. I am also glad to have worked with such a talented team, which helped bring out the chemistry between characters beautifully and made working on this series an enjoyable experience. I am looking forward to know what the audiences think of Bestseller.”

Sonalee Kulkarni said, “With Bestseller I am making my digital debut and I am delighted to be a part of this wonderful series. Shooting for a series is a very different experience from a movie, but my director Mukul Abhyankar made it easy. I am also thrilled I got to work so closely with Mithun da. He is such an experienced and amazing actor with an impeccable work ethic. When we shot our scenes together, we hardly did any rehearsals or even retakes. As our characters go about solving the mystery of Bestseller, I am sure the audience will be glued to the edge of their seats.”

Playing the conniving Chanakya like character who is also fierce, radical and authoritative; Saif Ali Khan as Samar is the blue-blooded crown prince. Samar’s enigma is unmissable when he gets on mic and draws a huge crowd given his zeal, energy and youth appeal.

·        Dimple Kapadia as Anuradha Kishore

High Res Image Link: https://amznstudios.box.com/s/2ubijoxgd6ds1rp184d8aob7fu41uwmq

Marking her fabulous debut in the digital streaming world, we cannot wait for Dimple to headline this series alongside other incredible actors. Her character Anuradha is one of the senior most politicians of the country. A lady who is strong headed and intelligent. And a long-term associate of PM of the country for last three terms Devki Nandan.

·        Tigmanshu Dhulia as Devki Nandan

High Res Image Link: https://amznstudios.box.com/s/ido6oj0doyw0rlyugwdr70nfpym5p3na

The intensely invigorating actor Tigmanshu Dhulia as Devki Nandan is dynamic and liberal; who is about to adorn the prime ministerial post for the third time in a row. Devki has an estranged relationship with his son Samar and it takes a further backseat as he discourages Samar’s political advancement

·        Zeeshan Ayyub as Shiva Shekhar

High Res Image Link: https://amznstudios.box.com/s/vmde7s3ev3hmvv6wx6ffd6ml1ixdaopp

In a parallel story to the larger scheme of events in the fictional political drama, Zeeshan Ayyub’s character is a person who is rather by the book. A great orator, humanitarian and charismatic individual, Shiva is a student pursuing his masters in Political Science. As the series progresses, Shiva becomes the center of a delusional world where nothing is as beautiful as it looks – neither love, nor his victories.

·        Kritika Kamra as Sana Mir

Kritika Kamra’s Sana hails from Kashmir and is also pursuing her masters in Political Science alongside Shiva (Zeeshan Ayyub). A complex character, her personal life is full of secrets that pushes her to go against her own ideals and throws her into a vortex of guilt of ruining lives of people she loves.

Never before seen in this avatar, Sunil Grover as Gurpal is cunning and ruthless. His character is a secretive man who never reveals his true emotions. Samar’s (Saif Ali Khan) most trusted man, Gurpal loyally pulls all strings to establish Samar. He is more dangerous than what meets the eye.

·        Gauahar Khan as Maithili

The model turned actress is turning the tables and how in the upcoming series! Playing secretary to Anuradha (Dimple Kapadia), Gauahar as Maithili is her closest aide and confidante. Maithili is to Anuradha what Gurpal is to Samar albeit more refined in demeanour, sophisticated but conniving nevertheless.

·        Dino Morea as Professor Jigar Sampath

High Res Image Link: https://amznstudios.box.com/s/n0somd6swxivj5cfli9iaif5yx9zdq2t

The ever-suave actor Dino Morea as Jigar, a professor of Political Science in the university; brings a lot to the table towards colliding the two worlds of politics and student politics. Magnetic, intelligent and broken. He has lived a simple life. His old friends have risen up the ladder of power but they never made him envious or power hungry.

·        Sarah Jane Dias as Ayesha Pratap Singh

High Res Image Link: https://amznstudios.box.com/s/067glc1shnq6vd3lkjf386ke1fe1ssd4

Sara Jane Dias plays the pillar of strength alongside Saif Ali Khan in the game of politics. Ayesha is Samar’s wife and partner-in-crime too, quite literally. She is attractive, smart and sometimes more manipulative than her politician husband who is one of the most powerful persons in the country.

·        Kumud Mishra as Gopal Das

High Res Image Link: https://amznstudios.box.com/s/txchf9nm69dhh9geaobinjq3l9m7ndcx

Devki’s (Tigmanshu Dhulia) closest political ally; Gopal Das Munshi and Devki Nandan’s association goes back to the days of the student unrest which propelled their political party into being.

·        Anuup Soni as Kailash Kumar

Anuup Sonii is all set to charm as Kailash; a well-read politician from Madhya Pradesh. A close aide to Gopal Das (Kumud Mishra), Kailash is more progressive than most of the Jan Lok Dal (JLD) politicians, which makes him more dangerous in this play of power and fury

·        Sandhya Mridul as Prof Sandhya Nigam

High Res Image Link: https://amznstudios.box.com/s/2boyvw5gphimbdwmi1nuqc9verwo6o0e

Set in the capital city of the world’s largest democracy, Tandav, the series will take viewers inside the closed, chaotic corridors of power and uncover the manipulations, charades as well as the dark secrets of people who will go to any lengths in pursuit of power.

The filmmaker says that the seniors made the show interesting as different contestants reacted differently to them. “I think the contestants were insecure of the seniors instead of learning from them. The seniors made the show more fun, some contestants opened up, the rest are just running around like headless chickens,” she says.

Ask her how she feels the contestants are performing this year, and she says, “I feel the girls are a lot bolder in talking their minds than the boys. The boys are still kind of warming up. I like Jasmin (Bhasin), although I would love to see her express herself more, Pavitra (Punia) speaks her mind and says the good, bad and ugly. She and Eijaz (Khan) sizzle up the show sometimes. The chupa rustam of the show I feel is Rahul because nobody has him figured out.”

Aneeta wants to see actor Karan Patel in the house. “I’d love to watch Karan in the house, he speaks his mind and has a spine. He has looks and is also intelligent,” she says.

The filmmaker also loves the host of the show Salman Khan. “Well, from the pink and purple tight pants in Judwaa to now, Salman Khan only seems to get better with each passing year, he’s as hot as it gets and he has all of us drooling,” says Aneeta.
