Call My Agent: Bollywood On Netflix Trailer Talk: Chock-Full Of Meta Bollywood Humour

The success of the show Call My Agent! — the French title is Dix pour Cent, for the 10% fee agents charge actors — was seminal, instant, and was, thus, ripe for remakes. There is a Korean, Quebec, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, German, and British remake under production. There was even a Turkish spin-off that completely axed references to homosexuality, of which there are plenty in the show one of the main character is a bisexual woman, and another is a gay man.
