MUMBAI: Bollywood’s dewy-eyed beauty, Tabu, makes her way to the cast of ‘Dune’ for its upcoming series, soon to be released on JioCinema. ‘DUNE: PROPHECY’ is a Max original series, which will be a part of the critically acclaimed movie franchise, that built a dedicated fandom after winning six Academy Awards. Set within the expansive universe of Dune, created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, ‘Dune: Prophecy’ follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit. Tabu's character is based on Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's novel, ‘Sisterhood of Dune,’ where she takes on the important role of Sister Francesca.
Tabu’s portrayal as Sister Francesca is that of a strong, intelligent, and alluring character, leaving a lasting impression and charm that is quintessentially Tabu. Upon awakening, Sister Francesca returns to the Palace where she was once beloved by the Emperor, but her presence leads to a disruption in the balance of power in the capital - what follows, is a story of grit, human emotions, and mystique of the cosmic.

I am looking forward to bringing the show to the homes and hearts of the audience through JioCinema .”
