Bollywood actors Vikrant Massey and Mahima Makwana have been signed to play the lead romantic duo in Musafir Café, a forthcoming web-series based on the popular novel of the same name. The streaming giant Netflix is expected to host the show, building on its expanding roster of original Indian content.
Production has already kicked off with scenes being shot in the scenic hill station of Mussoorie, creating a tranquil backdrop for the love story. Mahima Makwana has reportedly begun filming her portions on location. The project marks a significant collaboration for both stars as they step into the digital-first format, blending cinematic talents with streaming sensibilities.
While specific plot details remain under wraps, the adaptation promises a fresh take on the novel’s themes of journey and connection, anchored by Massey and Makwana’s chemistry. The combination of a novel source, a streaming platform like Netflix, and two acclaimed young actors signals the kind of premium content push the platform is aiming for in the Indian market.
Sources indicate that the team is taking full advantage of the natural beauty and architecture of Mussoorie to add visual depth to the narrative, reinforcing the series’ title and mood. With shooting underway, promotion is likely to ramp up soon, and viewers can expect a release window announcement in the coming months.
For Massey and Makwana, this series offers a chance to explore a slightly more mature romantic narrative, while Netflix gets to leverage their fan bases and the rising popularity of web-series in India. As the project moves ahead, the industry will be watching how this adaptation performs both creatively and commercially.
