(Photo: RiteishD/Twitter) Actor Riteish Deshmukh on Monday announced he is set to make his digital debut with a quirky coming-of-age Netflix film Plan A Plan B co-starring Tamannaah Bhatia. Directed by Shashanka Ghosh and written by Rajat Arora, the film also stars veteran actor Poonam Dhillon and Kusha Kapila.
According to the streamer, the film follows the story of a matchmaker who believes marriage is for everyone–except herself– and a successful divorce lawyer with a secret.
“What happens when they cross paths? Can opposites coexist, let alone attract?” the synopsis read.
Deshmukh, who was last seen on the big screen in the 2020 action movie Baaghi 3, said he was thrilled to be making his digital debut with Plan A Plan B.
“Working with Shashanka sir has been an absolute pleasure. What excites me the most is the terrific storyline of the film and the journey of this unexpected love story.
“I can’t wait for the audience all across the globe to watch this extraordinary story come to life on Netflix,” the 42-year-old actor said in a statement.
