Mumbai, July 21 (NationPress) - The creators of the comedy-drama series “Rangeen” have launched the trailer this Monday. Lead actress Rajshri Deshpande expressed her admiration for the upcoming project, emphasizing that it does not reduce women to mere labels.
Rajshri, portraying the character of Naina, remarked: “Rangeen transcends typical relationship dramas; it reflects the intricacies we harbor within ourselves. What fascinated me about Naina was her unapologetic quest - for desire, for meaning, for something beyond societal constraints.”
“I appreciate that Rangeen does not provide simple solutions. It allows women to be complicated, searching, and authentically human.”
Produced by Kabir Khan and Rajan Kapoor, this riveting comedy-drama is created and penned by Amardeep Galsin and Amir Rizvi, with direction by Kopal Naithani and Pranjal Dua.
Rajshri further added: “Amir and Amardeep brought a bold yet sensitive perspective to this narrative. Their discussions provided me the freedom to embody Naina rather than merely portray her… When Rangeen premieres this July, I hope viewers don’t just watch it - I hope they find a reflection of themselves in it.”
Rangeen is a fictional series featuring Viineet Kumar Siingh, Taaruk Raina, and Sheeba Chaddha.
The trailer offers a humorous glimpse into the chaos surrounding Adarsh’s ostensibly simple life. A shocking revelation about his wife Naina’s betrayal leads to an unpredictable journey. Rangeen follows Adarsh, a mild-mannered, middle-aged man, as he embarks on a hilarious yet poignant quest for vengeance.
Viineet Kumar Siingh commented: “Adarsh is a character that feels incredibly human to me—imperfect, conflicted, yet intensely sincere. What thrilled me about Rangeen was the opportunity to portray someone navigating a tempest of betrayal and self-doubt, not through melodrama, but with subtlety, humor, and quiet intensity.”
“The story unfolds with a raw honesty, making it both engaging and emotionally impactful…. The writers Amir Rizvi and Amardeep Galsin have crafted it brilliantly, and they are the showrunners as well.”
Amardeep Galsin, co-creator and co-writer, remarked, “Rangeen is a delicate yet humorous tale that examines what intimacy, power, and emotional needs resemble outside the conventional rom-com. We aimed to create a world that serves as a satire - balancing wit, irony, and emotional truth.”
Amir Rizvi, also a co-creator and co-writer, discussed the inspiration behind Rangeen, stating, “The concept emerged from a news article that resonated with us, not just for its content but for its emotional stirrings. It opened a window into a seldom-discussed realm, which became our initial spark. What began as something quirky evolved into a layered, emotional, and surprisingly relatable narrative.”
“Rangeen delves into the lives we navigate beneath the surface—identities we protect and the choices we rationalize.”
The series is set to debut on Prime Video starting July 25.
