New Delhi: Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s series “O Saathi Re”, featuring Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary, and Arjun Rampal, is set to stream on Netflix on December 4.

The series is created by Ali, who also serves as a showrunner and is producing alongside Mohit Choudhary and Shibasish Sarkar. It is directed by Arif Ali and revolves around a separating couple finding their way through the complexities of their relationship, and a love that was never equal, according to a press release.

“O Saathi Re is a modern romantic show with a vintage heart”, said Imtiaz Ali. “Sometimes, love surprises you by showing itself in the most unexpected corners. This is the story of the growth of affection in a divorcing couple. Affection has a throbbing heart, love is beautiful, but a relationship can be unequal. To be a matched couple can often be a burden,” he said in a statement.

“In ‘O Saathi Re’, we see that while love is yearning, dreaming, and getting together, it can also be the process of letting go. The characters are multi-layered and lifelike, which is why we went for the highest grade of actor,” he added.

Tanya Bami, series head of Netflix India, said, “Romance is such a loved genre and yet so underserved in the series format. After ‘Musafir Cafe’, we are extremely excited to bring our next offering in the romance genre – Imtiaz Ali’s ‘O Saathi Re’.”
