While Ishaan Khattar plays the role of Maan Kapoor, Tabu is seen as courtesan Saeeda Bai, with whom he becomes infatuated. A Suitable Boy is a celluloid adaptation of Vikram Seth’s acclaimed bestselling novel of the same name. The series is set in newly-independent India and interweaves the stories of four families – the Mehras, the Kapoors, the Chatterjis and the Khans.
Produced by Lookout Point for the BBC, the drama is penned by British screenwriter Andrew Davies. A Suitable Boy is scheduled to premiere in June 2020.
