Motwane said 'Jubliee' as an idea has been with him since he started his journey in the films as assistant director.
"While the series is set in that celebrated era of cinema, at its core, Jubilee is a very human story, with narrative themes that will resonate with everyone - which is what drew me to the story in the first place.
"We've painstakingly researched each aspect of the series to remain true to its era. It's been the most incredible journey made with the support of a terrific studio, with some of the most amazing actors, and with the best possible crew ever. Every day on this series has been a delight and I cannot wait for the world to see the work that we've all done," the director-creator said.
'Jubliee' will be available for streaming to OTT members in India and across 240 countries and territories.
