The first look of the Addatimes web series Julie offers viewers a glimpse into a story of survival, power, and ambition. Directed by Aritra Sen and starring Paoli Dam, Gourab Chatterjee, Shruti Das, Koushik Sen and Sujoy Prasad Chatterjee, the series promises a thrilling narrative of love, betrayal, and the battle against corruption.

Against a backdrop of political upheaval, Julie explores complex themes such as gender, power dynamics, and moral ambiguity, delivering unexpected twists in the intersections of power, ambition and personal struggle.

Julie deals with the idea of a woman from a marginalised part of society who becomes a major social worker and politician. Paoli Dam plays the titular role.

Gourab Chatterjee takes on the role of a determined CBI officer, while Koushik Sen plays a prominent politician, bringing depth and gravitas to the series. Shruti Das plays the politician’s daughter. This ensemble cast enhances the narrative, promising a captivating blend of intrigue and intensity.

Director Aritra Sen said: “As Julie began to take shape, Paoli was the first person I envisioned for this role. Julie is a first-person narrative that demands a compelling performance. Julie, with her remarkable singing talent, aspires to break free from the constraints of the red-light district and lead a normal life. As she steps into mainstream politics, she encounters considerable stigma and challenges due to her past. Nevertheless, she remains determined to overcome these obstacles and make her mark in the political sphere.”

Julie is set to start streaming on Addatimes in October.
