“O Saathi Re surprised me at every turn of its development. It is a modern story with a vintage heart, an enchanted fairy tale set in the fiasco of metropolitan life. I feel both relieved and excited at having Arif direct the stellar cast of Avinash, Aditi and Arjun (all aces there) and it is the ever strengthening relationship with Netflix that enabled us to enter the deceptively charming world of O Saathi Re,” said Imtiaz, reports variety.com.

Imtiaz will serve as creator, writer and showrunner for the new series, while also taking on executive producer duties alongside Mohit Choudhary. His brother Arif Ali, who previously directed “She,” will direct the series, with Imtiaz and Amogh Kanaskar handling the writing, reports variety.com. Nidhi Sethia joins as creative producer, while Vishal Bajaj and Pratik Nandkumar More (Shoot at Site) round out the executive production team.
