Why Ashim Ahluwalia was excited about making ‘Class’ for Indian audience

Mumbai, Feb 28 : Film director and screenwriter Ashim Ahluwalia spoke about the challenges of adapting Spanish drama Elite for an Indian audience and making the web series Class.

He said the biggest responsibility was retaining the characters from the original story.

He shared: "Class is an Indian adaptation of the global series Elite, and is something I was very excited about.Rather than just making a localised copy, I used the Spanish show in the way that one would use a source novel as a starting point for something altogether new.Its not just about recreating a show for Indian audiences, but also about bringing a unique perspective and cultural context to the story."Ashim is a well-known film director, screenwriter, and producer.

The National Award winner is best known for his critically acclaimed films, Daddy, Thin Air, and Miss Lovely, among others.He elaborated more about his recent web series and shared: "My work generally comes from a very cinematic place and Class was a great opportunity to use the forms I love in a longer, more immersive way.I feel like we have something truly unique, a series thats true to its roots and that shows us a side of India we havent seen on screen before."Class features Gurfateh Pirzada, Anjali Sivaraman, Piyush Khati, Zeyn Shaw, Ayesha Kanga, Chayan Chopra, Naina Bhan, Chintan Rachchh, Moses Koul, Cwaayal Singh and Madhyama Segal.Class is streaming on Netflix.
