Rinku, who gained nationwide fame for her portrayal of Archi in Sairat, will be seen in the action-comedy space with her character Netra Patil on the show. "Hundred is my first ever digital show and it has been a great working experience. This medium is on boom right now and is one of the major sources of entertainment for most of us in these trying times."
"It is a pleasure to be a part of this digital world, especially a platform like Hotstar that has such wide reach. What drew me towards the character of Netra is that people will see a new side in each episode," Rinku said in a statement.
Talking about the Hotstar special, Lara Dutta, in a statement, said, “One of the many reasons I chose to do Hundred is because I have never played a cop on screen and my character is trying hard to survive in a man’s world. She has very interesting dynamics with the people in her life and the more complex a situation, the more she thrives. She is nothing like me in real life.”
Rinku Rajguru and Lara Dutta headline the new Disney+Hotstar web series Hundred. The official synopsis: “A terminally ill girl looking for thrills is hired to be an undercover agent by an ambitious female cop looking for a promotion. As they both unite to accomplish their own goal in 100 days, chaos ensues.”
The directors are Ruchi Narain, Ashutosh Shah, and Taher Shabbir. The cast includes Karan Wahi, Sudhanshu Pandey, Parmeet Sethi, Rohini Hattangadi, Arun Nalawde, and Makarand Deshpande. The eight-episode series will be streamed on Disney+Hotstar from April 25.
