Family Business first look: Anil Kapoor, Vijay Varma to face off in high-stakes power battle

Netflix has officially dropped the first look at Family Business, starring Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma. The web series is directed by Hansal Mehta, and it appears to be a high-stakes corporate power struggle packed with legacy, ambition, and betrayal. This series also marks the comeback of Rhea Chakraborty.

Family Business is backed by Vikram Malhotra and co-created by Hansal Mehta and Niren Bhatt. The series brings together Vijay Varma, who appears in a sharply tailored, suave avatar, and Anil Kapoor as a visionary billionaire who refuses to loosen his grip on power.

Setting a stage for a ruthless succession battle, Vijay Varma plays the role of a rising tycoon groomed to take over India’s largest conglomerate, only to be suddenly fired months into the job. The teaser showcases an all-out corporate war, filled with old secrets, alliances, and personal vendettas.

“New blood meets old money. With immense power at stake, the lines blur between family and business,” the caption of the teaser read. As per reports, Family Business has been shot across Mumbai, Sri Lanka, Serbia, and Georgia.

Another hot topic of discussion is Rhea Chakraborty’s return to acting. Playing a key role in the series, the teaser showcases Chakraborty’s character confronting Anil Kapoor’s Jeh Davar, saying, “Aapne apni zindagi mein kisi se pyaar kiya hi nahi hai apne ilawa.”

Interestingly, several fans have claimed that the theme of the series appears to be quite similar to HBO’s Emmy-winning series Succession. However, the makers have not addressed the parallels.

The series is directed by Hansal Mehta, who is known for Scam 1992, Shahid, Aligarh, and Scoop. (Agencies)
