Streaming service Lionsgate Play on Tuesday announced the production of its next Indian Original, ‘Feels Like Home’, a coming-of-age series by Sidhanta Mathur.
The show, which features Prit Kamani, Anshuman Malhotra, Vishnu Kaushal, and Mihir Ahuja, chronicles the lives of four men in their 20s, who move into their first house away from home together.
The series provides a fascinating peek into their lives, showcasing their eventful journey and transition from boys to men, in a candid, witty storytelling style. The primary director of the series is Sahir Raza.
For the unversed, Mathur is known for his powerful stories bending stereotypes with titles like ‘Little Things’, ‘Minus One’, and ‘What the Folks’.
“At Lionsgate Play we are looking to create a fantastic mix of premium content from Global to Indian. Our Indian original slate is well rounded with stories from an urban family to a college drama and now a sneak peek into the lives of four boys who our viewers will love,” said Rohit Jain, Managing Director, Lionsgate South Asia and Networks-Emerging Markets Asia.
Jain added that Lionsgate would want to “tell more local stories” and bring them to a global audience by continuing to expand Indian Originals’ slate across languages and genres.
Mathur, Founder, Writeous Studio and the creator of “Feels Like Home”, said the show would depict how youngsters deal with what life throws at them.
“We have a very talented cast on board, and we’re so happy to have the series presented exclusively on Lionsgate Play, which has become the new go-to entertainment platform for young adults,” he added.
In February, Lionsgate Play had announced its first Indian original: the remake of the American comedy-drama series “Casual”, starring Lara Dutta and Prateik Babbar.
