Actors Diana Penty and Tamannaah Bhatia are set to headline a new web series titled ‘Do You Wanna Partner’. The series will debut on Prime Video on September 12, the streaming platform announced on Monday.
Karan Johar, who is backing the project under the banner of Dharmatic Entertainment, shared the poster on Instagram. The caption of his post read, “Freshly poured, perfectly chilled, it’s going to be served on Prime Video. #DoYouWannaPartnerOnPrime, New Series, September 12 (sic).”
Along with Johar, the series is also produced by Adar Poonawalla and Apoorva Mehta.
Also starring Jaaved Jaafery, Nakuul Mehta, Shweta Tiwari, Neeraj Kabi, Sufi Motiwala, and Rannvijay Singha, the upcoming series is directed by Archit Kumar and Collin D’Cunha.
The story follows two spirited best friends—Shikha and Anahita (played Bhatia and Penty)—on an audacious mission to launch their own alcohol start-up. Set against the chaos of urban life, the series will capture the duo’s journey to carve a niche in the male-dominated world of craft beer.
Johar said “Do You Wanna Partner” is an “audacious, vibrant and unapologetically fun” series.
“‘Do You Wanna Partner’ is audacious, vibrant and unapologetically fun – a story that captures the grit, heart, and hustle of a new generation of entrepreneurs, especially women making their mark in unconventional industries. It’s quirky, emotional, and rooted in the Indian spirit of jugaad. Collaborating with Prime Video continues to be a creatively fulfilling experience for all of us at Dharmatic Entertainment,” he said.
“Together, we’ve brought audiences bold, contemporary narratives that travel across geographies. We’re proud of the colourful, chaotic world we’ve built, and even prouder of the message it carries. I’m thrilled that this story, born from a very local idea, is now ready to charm audiences across the globe,” he added.
Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals, Prime Video, India, added, “‘Do You Wanna Partner’ is a bold and spirited tale of ambition, friendship, and hustle—told through the lens of two women rewriting the rules in a male-dominated industry.”
