The Indian version will star Kemmu, who has played memorable roles in movies like Lootcase, Go Goa Gone, Bhaag Johnny, and the Golmaal series, as the astute but impulsive investigator Jake Peralta. According to sources in Peeping Moon, which is well-known for his work on Rishta.com and Dhoom Dhaam, Rishab Seth, the filmmaker, is currently in charge of the adaptation. The screenplay was written by one of Seth's frequent collaborators, Aarsh Vora.

In October, filming for Kemmu's Netflix film Single Papa is scheduled to end, and production is anticipated to begin. Additionally, the actor will star in Rohit Shetty's upcoming Golmaal 5 as well as Raj & DK's Gulkanda Tales on Prime Video. Following the unexpected smash hit Madgaon Express from the previous year, he is currently working on his second full-length movie as a director.

Netflix India and Banijay Asia are working together once more

The new series is being produced in collaboration by Netflix India and Banijay Asia, the company behind the French comedy-drama Call My Agent: Bollywood adaptation. Banijay Asia has established a reputation for adapting international intellectual assets for Indian use under the leadership of Deepak Dhar. In their collection of Hindi adaptations, they have The Night Manager, The Good Wife, and The Trial, with several more said to be on the way.

A gang of investigators from the fictional 99th precinct of the New York Police Department's Brooklyn division served as the basis for the original Brooklyn Nine-Nine. With a diverse cast and a light-hearted approach, the show addressed socially relevant topics like racial profiling, LGBTQ+ representation, and workplace dynamics. The series became known for its chilly starts and the amusing timing of each figure. Kemmu is the only member of this Indian iteration at the moment. After we complete the screenplay, the producers will choose the cast for characters like Amy Santiago, Captain Raymond Holt, and the rest of the precinct..

The Indian version of the show, which will maintain the core of the original, will be based on the original, which has a worldwide fan base and has been popular for eight seasons.
