This  is  big news. Preity Zinta  locked far away  in Los Angeles  with her dear husband,is turning producer with a webseries for Disney-Hotstar.The  series  to be produced  by Preity will be  directed  by  writer-turned-director Sandeep Modi who has   been associated with Ram Madhavani  during the making  of  Neerja and the  webseries  Aarya.

But the   really exciting part  of this news is that  Preity’s webseries  will star her buddy Hrithik  Roshan. The  two  co-starred  in Hrithik’s home  production  Koi …Mil Gayaand they’ve  remained  friends since then.It was  only natural that she turn to Hrithik  for her  first foray into  digital  production.

Says  an impeccable source, “Preity thought  of her friend Duggu(Hrithik) because  he was  perfect for the role.  She is  producing an Indian version of the  celebrated John Le Carre novel The  Night Manager. The lead  requires the  character  to be  complex and multi-layered. Hrithikimmediately  said yes.”

 The Night Manager on Disney-Hotstar  would be Hrithik’s digital debut, as much as Preity’s premier  OTTproduction. I can’t wait to see  the magic that they create together .
