Actors Tabu, Ishaan Khatter and newcomer Tanya Maniktala will be seen in filmmaker Mira Nair's screen adaptation of Vikram Seth classic A Suitable Boy. "I'm very happy to be working on 'A Suitable Boy', and especially with Mira. Having worked with her on the 'Namesake', I look forward to one more creatively charged experience," Tabu said.

Adapted by Andrew Davies and directed by Mira and produced by Lookout Point, A Suitable Boy will shortly begin filming in India. The cast of the six-part BBC One drama is led by Ishaan, Tabu alongside Tanya in the central role of Lata.
