Filming commences on Saturday (September 7) on Lookout Point's epic adaptation of Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy for BBC One. The six-part series will be directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding, The Namesake, Queen of Katwe) and has been adapted for screen for the first time by award-winning writer Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice, War & Peace, Les Misérables).

All three creative powerhouses behind the show - Nair, Seth, and Davies - gathered in Mumbai recently to start rehearsals and read through scripts alongside cast and the three leads: Bollywood leading man Ishaan Khatter (Beyond the Clouds, Dhadak), Indian screen legend Tabu (The Namesake, Life of Pi, Andhadhun) and rising star Tanya Maniktala who will play the central role of Lata.
