“I am thrilled about my digital debut with ZEE5. The story of The Final Call is special and you will see me in a very different avatar. We just wrapped up our first shoot schedule in Kashmir and I cannot wait to present the final product to the viewers,” says Arjun.
Manish Aggarwal, Business Head, ZEE5 India, adds, “The Final Call is our maiden foray into the genre of web series based on book adaptations. Arjun Rampal fit the character of the protagonist perfectly.”
The Final Call is expected to start streaming early next year. A rising contender in the Indian OTT market, ZEE5 has announced the production of 90 new originals in the next 18 months, including shows in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, and Malayalam.
