‘Family Business’ is not a small comeback project. The series stars Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma in lead roles, with Rhea playing an important part. The show is likely to release later this year, though Netflix has not revealed an exact date yet.
The teaser gives a sharp first look at the power game. Anil Kapoor plays the boss of a massive multi-billion-dollar company. Vijay Varma appears as his loyal, hardworking employee.
Things fall apart when Kapoor’s character suddenly fires Varma triggering tense power struggle. Business, betrayal, ego, family clashes form heart of the story.
It’s serious drama with suits, secrets, silent wars.
Rhea’s life took a dramatic turn after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020. What followed was intense public scrutiny and legal trouble. In September that year, she was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau after alleged drug-related chats were found on her phone. She was granted bail soon after, but the damage to her career and personal life was deep.
For years, Rhea stayed away from films and public events. Acting offers stopped. Silence took over.
Instead of disappearing, Rhea slowly rebuilt her life. She launched her own podcast and later surprised many by appearing as a gang leader on MTV Roadies.
Now, with ‘Family Business’, Rhea is finally returning to acting.
