Grapevine Bollywood: Shah Rukh Khan collaborates with online streaming company Netflex!

MUMBAI: Shah Rukh Khan has united up with online streaming company Netflix to create an original Indian series called Bard of Blood.

The eight-episode political spying series is based on Bilal Siddiqi’s bestselling book of 2015, set in the Indian Subcontinent.

SRK’s production house Red Chillies Entertainment will produce the series featuring intricate, highly stylized action sequences, integrating Hindi, Urdu, English and other languages.

“We have always tried to create world-class content and entertainment from India. Netflix has shown that Indian stories have a global audience, and we would love to use this platform and its reach to tell more stories”, Khan maintained. 

Netflix chief executive Reed Hastings reciprocated by saying: “We believe in the global vision of Red Chillies to create groundbreaking content out of India.

“It’s exciting to deepen our relationship with Red Chillies and expand our slate of originals in India. We are thrilled to work with a brilliant, young writer like Bilal Siddiqi and take his gripping, inventive storytelling to Netflix members worldwide.”
