“Mirzapur” actress Sheeba Chaddha has joined the cast of British star Riz Ahmed’s upcoming comedy series for streaming service Prime Video.
The untitled half-hour series has been created by Ahmed and developed under his production company, Left Handed, through his first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios.
According to entertainment news outlet Variety, Chaddha has joined the cast of the show alongside Aasiya Shah and Sajid Hasan, as well as recently announced cast member Guz Khan. Details of her role have been kept under wraps. Chaddha is best known for appearing in three seasons of the hit Prime Video series “Mirzapur,” as well as critically acclaimed films such as “Badhaai Do,” “Doctor G,” “Pagglait,” “Gully Boy,” and “Badhaai Ho.”
Ahmed will serve as writer and co-showrunner alongside Ben Karlin. The new show follows Shah Latif (Ahmed), a struggling actor who is on the cusp of landing the role of a lifetime, but finds himself caught up in an existential crisis and a mind-bending conspiracy thriller all at the same time.
The series will mark Ahmed’s return to the television scene after starring in “The Night Of,” for which he won an Emmy Award, as well as “Girls.” Jax Media and Amazon MGM Studios is behind the show, which is executive produced by Ahmed and Allie Moore for Left Handed, Jake Fuller for Jax Media, Karlin and Roopesh Parekh.
