Mrighdeep Singh Lamba's 'Chutzpah' to offer a slice of cyber life

Mumbai: After the massive success of Fukrey and Fukrey Returns, director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba is here again to amaze his audience with yet another masterpiece.

Produced by Dinesh Vijan, created by Mrighdeep, written by Amit Babbar and Mrighdeep, 'Chutzpah' is directed by Simarpreet Singh, and it features Gen-X popular actors including Varun Sharma, Manjot Singh, Gautam Mehra, Tanya Maniktala, Elnaaz Norouzi and Kshitij Chauhan, amongst others. 

Living up to the title, the new-age web show highlights the relevance of the internet and social media in everyone's life, talking about the same Mrighdeep informs, "While Fukrey was a youth-oriented movie about slice-of-life, this one is a slice of cyber life. While Fukrey revolved around four different characters and their journey, Chutzpah talks about five to six different characters and how their paths cross each other. We all know how www (world wide web) has taken over our lives. So that way, Chutzpah is a story that was waiting to be told. During pandemics and lockdown, stories were made about people getting quarantined and staying alone in their houses. Still, our story is different and talks about the inclusion of the internet in everybody's lives." 

"Amit (Babbar), the writer of the show, had an interesting idea about the internet and those days I was only reading scripts, but this was the one thing that caught my attention. It's about how people connect and disconnect on the internet. We don't want to be preachy, but the show's important message ends with. There's fun, entertainment and drama, but it also makes you think. It has a very deep-rooted philosophy that cannot be ignored. Fukrey clicked because the characters and situations were real. And that's the same with 'Chutzpah' – real and relatable," Mrighdeep adds. 

An out-and-out entertainer, 'Chutzpah' will premiere on SonyLIV from July 23.
