MUMBAI: The media has already reported about a new webseries titled Fixer being in the making under the banner of Sakett Saawhney’s Ekomkar Pictures.

Directed by Soham Shah, the series will have Shabbir Ahluwalia playing the negative and titular role of the fixer. It is based on the story of an ATS officer who is drawn into the underbelly of Mumbai’s movie mafia and soon becomes a fixer.

Other actors who are cast for the series are Karishma Sharma, Mahie Gill, and Isha Koppikar, who will be seen in significant roles.

Now, a little birdie informs us that Tigmanshu Dhulia has been cast to take the series to another high in terms of entertainment. He will play the role of the 'malik'.

'Tigmanshu will play a malik, one of the chiefs who operate the underworld. He will take the entertainment quotient of the series to another level all together, as the content promises to bring in action, thrill, and some element of comedy,' said the source.

We tried calling Tigmanshu, but he remained unavailable for comment. Tigmanshu has been a director of television show Criminal Justice and an array of Bollywood films such as Zero, Manjhi, Bullet Raja, Shahid, Paan Singh Tomar, and Gangs of Wasseypur 1 and 2.
