Indian AVOD streamer Voot preps Australian road trip drama

Khwabon Ke Parindey

Indian streamer Voot is preparing to launch an Australia-based six-part drama as its latest original series.

Khwabon Ke Parindey revolves around the lives of three friends who are joined by a quirky and rugged hitchhiker on an adventurous and life altering road trip from Melbourne to Perth.

The show, which has been shot across Australia, is directed by Tapasvi Mehta and will launch later this month on the Viacom18-backed service.

It stars Asha Negi, Mrinal Dutt, Manasi Moghe and Tushar Sharma.

Chanpreet Arora, business head of AVOD at Viacom18 Digital Ventures, said: “We will continue to invest in creating a wide repertoire of inclusive content and experiences that will engage and enthral our users.

“Khwabon Ke Parindey marks the beginning of our originals slate this year and we are sure that Voot with its immersive content and enhanced engagement will garner significant audience patronage.”

Voot offers more than 80,000 hours of multi-lingual Indian content across genres and is part of the Viacom18 network, a joint venture between Network18, which owns 51%, and ViacomCBS, which holds a 49% stake.
