The trailer of the upcoming streaming series ‘Dil Dosti Dilemma’ was unveiled on Tuesday, which introduces the viewers to the character of Asmara played by Anushka Sen.

Asmara is a witty and charming young girl from a privileged family in Bengaluru, who is excited to spend her summer holidays in Canada.

However, her plans take an unexpected turn when she ends up at Tibbri Road, the middle-class neighbourhood of her maternal grandparents.

The show is adapted from the book ‘Asmara’s Summer’ penned by Andaleeb Wajid.

‘Dil Dosti Dilemma’ is directed by Debbie Rao and written by Anuradha Tiwari, Bugs Bhargava Krishna, Raghav Dutt, and Manjiri Vijay. The series also stars Kush Jotwani, Tanvi Azmi, and Shishir Sharma in lead roles.

Tanvi Azmi, who plays Asmara’s grandmother, said, “Throughout my career, I’ve always gravitated towards roles that feel real because I believe that authenticity truly challenges an actor.

The upcoming streaming show ‘Dil Dosti Dilemma’ follows the story of a girl, Asmara, who is sent to her grandparents’ neighbourhood as a form of punishment during her summer vacations. However, the twist comes when, in order to maintain appearances with her friends, she pretends to be in Canada.

The show has been adapted from the popular book ‘Asmara’s Summer’, written by Andaleeb Wajid.

It has been directed by Debbie Rao and written by Anuradha Tiwari, Bugs Bhargava Krishna, Raghav Dutt, and Manjiri Pupala.

It stars Anushka Sen, Kush Jotwani, Tanvi Azmi, and Shishir Sharma in lead roles, and Shruti Seth, Vishakha Pandey, Revathi Pillai, Elisha Mayor, and Suhasini Mulay in pivotal roles.
