Veteran actor Zeenat Aman is all set to make her digital debut with youth-based web series, Love, Life and Screw Ups!!! . She will play a spinster, Joana, who likes to mingle with the youth while dealing with her own messed-up life.
Kapil Sharma of Dunno Y Na Jaane Kyon fame is set to turn director of this show which he began writing last August.
We were looking for a glamorous actress with great comic timing and Zeenatji fit the bill perfectly. She is a diva who can connect with any generation. International shows are gaining popularity in India but we don’t have even one such show of our own; something cool and funny which the youth can connect with. Our story is a light-hearted take on eight friends and their relationship struggles.Kapil Sharma (as reported by The Times of India)
He also revealed that he was not sure if the actress would be open to the idea of working in a web-series but the veteran actress immediately took to the idea and even said, “this could have been a movie!”. The show will cater to a global audience with English subtitles. He also mentioned that her look on the show will be inspired from the 70s, with long skirts, scarves et al.
