About the sunflower
Vikas Bahl’s Web Sunflower series is a thriller revolving around a housing company of the same name. A murder takes place in the company which gives rise to a police investigation. Ranvir Shorey and Girish Kulkarni play the Inspector and Deputy Inspector, respectively, who are in charge of this murder investigation. Their main suspect is Sonu (Sunil Grover) who involuntarily gets involved in this case. Everything he says or does only makes it worse for him.
Sunflower has been a long-standing company in the heart of Mumbai and as murder occurs in the famous company, locals are increasingly worried about its image. Veteran actor Ashish Vidyrthi will play the role of Dilip Iyer, the company secretary. His character is meant to be arrogant as he thinks about ways to be the next president of the company. Actors like Ranvir Shorey and Girish Kulkarni have gained great recognition for their past work in the industry. We bet their collaboration with Sunflower will yield amazing results.
Produced by Reliance Entertainment and Good Co., the eight-part series is said to be a comedy of errors as protagonist Sonu continues to make mistakes with the intention of breaking free from the investigation. On the other hand, the real culprits hide in the shadows and enjoy the spectacle. Sunil Grover is best known for his comedic timings and incredible screen presence, and we can’t wait to see what he brings with his role as Sonu Singh in Sunflower.
