'Lootere' on Disney+ Hotstar seems to be about Somalian pirates hijacking a ship with Indian crew on board. At a deeper level, though, it is about a grab for power and more money. There is a subtext of Indians in Africa that is interesting, too.
Lootere has been created by Hansal Mehta and Shaailesh R Singh and is set in Somalia.
Vivek Gomber opened up on collaborating with Hansal Mehta and Jai Mehta for Lootere and recalled shooting the Disney+ Hotstar show on the seas during the Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa.
Vivek Gomber, known for his role in Chaitanya Tamhane's Court, catapulted to fame with Rohena Gera's poignant drama Sir in 2018.
Jai Mehta turns out to be quite a chip off the old block, though I doubt Hansal would like to be called a block.
