Family Business First Look Unveils Silver-Haired Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma in Billion-Dollar Showdown
Netflix India has officially launched the highly anticipated first look of its upcoming original series Family Business, setting the stage for an explosive corporate war between veteran actor Anil Kapoor and rising star Vijay Varma. The two-minute promo reveals a gripping narrative centered on legacy, power, and betrayal within India's corporate elite.
Plot and Character Dynamics
The series revolves around a high-stakes succession battle at India's largest conglomerate. Anil Kapoor portrays Jeh Davar, a visionary billionaire who grooms Vijay Varma's character, Sid Mehta, as his chosen successor. However, the relationship turns sour when Sid is abruptly fired, igniting a personal and professional war between the two tycoons.
In the intense promo, Anil Kapoor declares, "This is war," to which Vijay Varma responds with equal ferocity, "I'm bringing Jeh Davar down." The confrontation escalates with a memorable exchange where Vijay warns Anil about regret, prompting Anil's sharp retort: "Jo regret karte hai woh baith kar biography likhte hai, history nahi" (Those who regret sit down to write a biography, not history).
Creative Team and Adaptation
Family Business is co-created by acclaimed director Hansal Mehta and writer Niren Bhatt, marking Mehta's second collaboration with Netflix after the successful crime drama Scoop in 2024. Bhatt, known for his work on films like Bala, Stree 2, and Bhediya, brings his storytelling expertise to this project.
The series is reportedly adapted from the popular American drama Billions, which explores similar themes of wealth, power, and rivalry in the financial world. This adaptation promises to deliver a localized yet globally resonant narrative set against the backdrop of India's corporate landscape.
