Shabana Azmi wanted to ‘remove’ Jyotika from Dabba Cartel; says, "I kept saying ‘don’t take her’

Shabana Azmi will be collaborating for the first time with South star Jyotika in the female-led high-stakes drama Dabba Cartel that also features an ensemble cast of Saie Tamhankar, Shalini Pandey, Anjali Anand, Nimisha Sajayan, among others. Recently, as Netflix dropped the trailer of this upcoming entertainer, the entire cast came together to speak about the show and their camaraderie with each other, wherein Azmi made a heartfelt confession about not wanting Jyotika for the part she was roped in to play.

During the launch, Shabana Azmi revealed that she attempted to convince the makers about not taking the Shaitaan actress for the part. “I have tried to remove two girls from this. One of them is Jyothika. She doesn’t know about this but I kept saying ‘yeh nahin usko lo (don’t take her)’. But these guys told me do what you want we won’t change her.” However, the actress added that she is grateful to them for maintaining their stand. “I am really grateful now that she’s here. Truly. It was my mistake. It would have robbed me of the pleasure of working with you," she added.

Dabba Cartel revolves around five middle-class women whose dabba business takes an unexpected turn, thrusting them into the heart of a high-stakes drug cartel. As the series unfolds in the bustling suburbs of Thane, , the women and their husbands find themselves entangled in something far more sinister — the murky world of Viva Life Pharmaceuticals. The recently released trailer gives a peek into this web of greed, betrayal, and unexpected alliances.

Directed by Hitesh Bhatia, written by Vishnu Menon and Bhavna Kher, and produced by Excel Entertainment, it is created by Shibani Akhtar, Vishnu Menon, Gaurav Kapur, and Akanksha Seda. It premieres on February 28, only on Netflix.
