Produced by Jyoti Deshpande (Jio Studios) and Alchemy Films Pvt Ltd, the story follows Dr Nitiya Vasu (Harleen Sethi), a fiercely determined resident who enters the Elizabeth Blackwell Medical Centre with a hidden agenda. Her mission: retribution against her mentor, Dr Ishaan Ahuja (Sharad Kelkar), a renowned neurosurgeon she believes sabotaged her brother’s career. However, as their worlds collide within the intense pressures of the medical field, Nitiya begins to uncover truths that challenge her motives and awaken unexpected emotions.
Sharad Kelkar on Dr Ishaan Ahuja, “Playing Dr Ishaan Ahuja has been an incredible journey. He’s a deeply layered character, shaped by his past but unwavering in his dedication to his work. Preparing for this role took me beyond acting workshops—I spent hours shadowing real doctors to grasp their struggles and emotions. Doctors is a story that will resonate with anyone who appreciates resilience and human connection.”
Harleen Sethi on Dr Nitiya Vasu, “Dr Nitiya Vasu’s character pushed me to explore emotional depths I hadn’t tapped into before. Preparing for her journey wasn’t just about medical jargon—it was about channelling her pain, passion, and purpose. Navigating her dilemmas within the world of medicine was both challenging and rewarding.”
Aamir Ali on the show’s emotional impact, said, “Doctors opened my eyes to the dedication and humanity that define the medical profession. It’s a powerful show for the holiday season—perfect for family viewing. I can’t wait to hear what the audience thinks about this heartfelt story.”

Prime Video and Hrithik Roshan reunite for quirky heist comedy Mess
HRX Films expands pact with quirky heist comedy set for production
MUMBAI: Prime Video is doubling down on its partnership with Hrithik Roshan, announcing a new comedy film Mess that promises chaos, chuckles and a clever twist on the classic heist.
Produced by Hrithik Roshan and Eshaan Roshan under HRX Films, a division of FilmKraft Productions, the film is being made in association with Soda Films Lab. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, Mess marks the second collaboration between the streaming platform and HRX Films after the upcoming thriller Storm.
At the heart of Mess lies an unusual premise. A group of robbers break into the home of a man with OCD, only to find themselves outmatched in a night-long standoff that flips the script on who is really in control. It is a set-up that blends tension with humour, turning a break-in into a breakdown of expectations.
Prime Video India director and head of originals Nikhil Madhok said, “A good story should surprise and entertain, and Mess does both with ease. It brings together a unique premise, memorable characters and a tone that keeps you laughing throughout.”
He added that the collaboration with HRX Films continues to grow stronger, with the new film reflecting a shared appetite for bold and original storytelling.
Hrithik Roshan said, “After Storm, Mess feels like a natural next step in our journey with Prime Video. The film captures the kind of unconventional storytelling we want to champion, with Rajesh bringing a distinctive voice to the narrative.”
Director Rajesh A Krishnan said, “The world of Mess is a mix of comedy and chaos, unusual enough to keep audiences on edge while still delivering humour. It has been a deeply collaborative and creatively fulfilling experience.”
The original screenplay comes from Paul Soter, with adaptation and dialogues by Kapil Sawant, adding another layer of craft to the film’s offbeat narrative.
As production gears up, Mess looks ready to live up to its name, serving up a delightful tangle of mayhem, mischief and movie magic for audiences in India and beyond.
