After series such as Criminal Justice, The Office, Hostages, Your Honor and Fauda, to name a few, Applause Entertainment is now all set to bring the hit French workplace comedy ‘Dix Pour Cent’ (Call My Agent) in its Indianised avatar. The series will feature a stellar cast, including Rajat Kapoor, Soni Razdan, Aahana Kumra and Ayush Mehra, along with some prominent names from Bollywood as guest stars in every episode. Shaad Ali will helm this project. The show is set to go on the floors late October.

Collaborating with Applause Entertainment for the first time, director Shaad Ali said, “I have been a consumer of premium drama series and always been keen to explore it as a director. When Sameer discussed this opportunity with me I thought it was the perfect chance.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
