As web-shows grow in popularity and the list of OTT platforms is on the rise like never before, more and more Bollywood stars are jumping from the big screen and exploring opportunities in the digital world. After some leading men of Bollywood announced their foray into the streaming world lately, now several actresses also seem raring to go digital and hop on the bandwagon. Recently, Karisma Kapoor got her start in the web-space by announcing an ALTBalaji series called Mentalhood. And the latest we hear that former beauty queen and actress Lara Dutta is also set to turn to the internet to star in an upcoming web-series.

Yes, you heard that absolutely right! Lara is gearing up to make her digital debut with a Hotstar Specials’ series, tentatively titled 100. The network has recently premiered highly bingeable web-shows like Criminal Justice, Mayanagari: City of Dreams and Hostages. According to a credible source, Lara will essay the role of a cop in the Narcotics Control Bureau. Despite being capable of taking on criminals all by herself, she is always relegated to less valued tasks by her seniors.

Though the untitled series is a cop drama, it will not be very serious in tone. It is, in fact, a dark comedy which will keep tickling audiences’ funny bones every now and then. The makers are looking at wrapping it up within 9 episodes. To be directed by Ruchi Narayan, the series is being produced by a company called R.A.T Films. They have previously made a series of memorable advertisements.

Last seen in Vashu Bhagnani’s 2018 comic-caper Welcome to New York, Lara Dutta has not tasted success for the last several years now. We hope her digital debut ends the dry spell for the gorgeous actress.
