Danish has already made a mark in the web world with _It’s Not That Simple_ , starring Swara Bhasker, a show that has got a second season with actor Sumeet Vyas joining the cast as well. Bhasker has straddled both her film career and web presence well, with a second web show in her kitty _Rasbhari_ , starring her as the lead, after the success of Veere Di Wedding in which she played the supporting lead to Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sonam Kapoor. A-listers of Bollywood have embraced the digital space with Saif Ali Khan and Anurag Kashyap teaming up for the highly anticipated Sacred Games for Netflix, and Anil Kapoor on board for a second Netflix series, Selection Day, and a third series Bard of Blood is in production as well. Netflix has also announced three more shows subsequently, Leila, Ghoul and Crocodile__. Rana Daggubati had also made his web debut with the thriller _Social_ , a bilingual web thriller. Amazon Prime Video has also been a main player in establishing the web series trend in Bollywood with Farhan Akhtar and Riteish Sidhwani-produced _Inside Edge_ releasing to much fanfare in 2017, and Manoj Bajpayee starring in directors Raj and DK’s upcoming drama-action series The Family Man.
Huma Qureshi, who recently starred opposite Rajinikanth in Kaala, will make her digital debut in Flesh, directed by Break Ke Baad-fame Danish Aslam.
