MUMBAI : Netflix has announced Mismatched, one of 17 new titles (12 movies and five web series), starring YouTube sensation Prajakta Koli (aka MostlySane) and Rohit Saraf.

The official synopsis reads, “He’s searching for his happily ever after. She dreams of being a tech wizard. Over three months, this mismatched couple must build an amazing app while navigating an oddball bunch of friends, nasty bullies, a snooty professor… and well, each other.”

The young adult romance has been directed by Akarsh Khurana, who’s known for writing TVF Tripling and starring in multiple TVF web series, including playing the lead in Yeh Meri Family.

Produced by RSVP, known for delivering films such as Uri, Lust Stories and The Sky is Pink, Mismatched has been adapted from Sandhya Menon’s book When Dimple Met Rishi.

Koli is one of the biggest YouTubers in India with over five million subscribers. The web series serves as her Netflix debut. She also recently released her own web film titled Khayali Pulao through her YouTube channel.
