Online movie streaming giant Netflex has tied up with Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chilliest Entertainment to product an 8 episode long political espionage series titled “Bard of Blood.”
Based on the bestselling 2015 book of the same name by Bilal Siddiqi, the multilingual series, in Urdu, English, Hindi and other languages, is set in the Indian subcontinent. It will follow Kabir Anand, an expelled spy who is recalled from his new life as a Shakespeare professor to save his country and his long-lost love. The series will feature intricate, highly stylized action sequences.
Last month, Netflix said it will significantly increase investments in development and production of local original content in the coming months. Including the new Red Chillies deal, the company has announced five original series so far, including Sacred Games, Selection Day, Again and an animated series based on Chhota Bheem.
