Bambai Meri Jaan creator says the show deals with complexity of nature vs nurture

Mumbai Meri Jaan director Shujaat Saudagar in a recent interview said that the show deals with the complexity of nature vs nurture.

Talking about the show, Saudagar said, “Bambai Meri Jaan deals with the complexity of nature vs nurture. Thematically, stories which relate to dysfunctional relationships have always attracted me to tell a cinematic narrative. Bambai Meri Jaan weaves the saga of a family inhabiting and growing through their trials and tribulations alongside burgeoning post independent Mumbai. We can’t wait to see viewers’ reactions to the series that is so close to our hearts.”

The show features Kay Kay Menon, Avinash Tiwary, Kritika Kamra and Nivedita Bhattacharya along with Amyra Dastur.

The 10-part series is created by Rensil D’Silva and Saudagar and also directed by Saudagar.

The story for the series has been penned by S. Hussain Zaidi, whose earlier works have inspired many Bollywood gangster dramas most notably Anurag Kashyap’s Black Friday (2004) and the Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022) which is based on the chapter of Gangubai Kothewali from ‘Mafia Queens of Mumbai’.

Produced by Excel Media and Entertainment’s Ritesh Sidhwani, Kassim Jagmagia and Farhan Akhtar, Bambai Meri Jaan will drop on Prime Video on September 14.
