Filmmaker Bejoy Nambiar, who is currently gearing up for his upcoming release Taish, stated that he is thrilled to collaborate with actor Madhuri Dixit for the latter's web-debut project. While talking to Mid-day, Bejoy Nambiar shared that he will be directing two episodes of the Netflix show, titled The Actress.

Bejoy to join hands with Madhuri

While talking about his excitement to join the directorial team of The Actress, the 41-year-old filmmaker said that he is thrilled to get a chance to work with Madhuri Dixit Nene. Interestingly, the upcoming suspense-drama web-show, which will revolve around a superstar who vanishes without a trace, will see Sri Rao as the director-showrunner. Elaborating further, Nambiar asserted that he has never worked on a project where somebody else is the showrunner, and he has to fulfill the directorial responsibilities.

He said it will be a new experience for him. The filming for the web series began in March earlier this year. However, the production process came to a halt due to COVID-19 lockdown that was imposed by the government.
