“We are delighted to announce ‘Bloody Brothers’, our third outing with Applause Entertainment. An Indian adaptation of the hit British series ‘Guilt’, ‘Bloody Brothers’ is a darkly comic thriller brought to life by a stellar cast that is sure to keep our audiences across the globe rivetted.”
The six-part series revolves around the lives of two brothers, Jaggi and Daljeet. While the elder brother Jaggi enjoys the comfort of a wealthy and seemingly perfect life, the younger one Daljeet struggles to survive running a vintage book shop cum café. Their life spins out of control when a tragic accident occurs and distrust starts enveloping their lives, creating a rift between them and everyone around. The series has a heavy weight cast, including Tina Desai, Shruti Seth, Maya Alagh, Mugdha Godse, Satish Kaushik and Jitendra Joshi, and some edge-of-the-seat plot twists and turns.
Nimisha Pandey, Chief Content Officer, Hindi Originals, ZEE5 Global, said: “With ‘Bloody Brothers’, we add another captivating story to our content slate. It is a story of two brothers who must stick together to fight through a challenging situation. Jaideep and Zeeshan are an absolute delight as Jaggi and Daljeet.
