Filmmaker Goldie Behl recently directed ZEE5 original Rejctx. The high school drama, set in an international school spoke about millennial issues. Subjects like gender fluidity, body shaming, personality disorder, porn addiction among more found prominence in the web show.
The series starred Sumeet Vyas, Kubbra Sait, Ahmed Masi Wali, Ridhi Khakhar, Pooja Shetty, Ayush Khurrana as the primary cast.
Goldie Behl said to an entertainment portal, “It all started with a conversation with ZEE5 head Tarun Katial. We both have kids, who are either in high school or going to and so we connected to that world. We have involved parents and we wanted to talk about these children and their voices.
We set the show abroad in Singapore because that’s the hub of education. There are many Indian kids out there in international school but they have never been portrayed as the protagonist. So that’s how the idea came about.”
When asked about his journey from films, television and now web series, the director said, “All are very different from each other. The web has a more hybrid approach. While it has a cinema-like narrative, the timeline is similar to television. I have used my film and TV experiences on this project. However, I must add that the web is more liberating than television. TV has a lot of dos and don’ts and it’s more of a collaborative approach with the channel.”
Goldie Behl who is making a comeback with REJCTX, a ZEE5 Original, featuring Sumeet Vyas and Kubbra Sait in pivotal roles with Anisha Victor, Ahmed Masi Wali, Ridhi Khakhar, Pooja Shetty and others in the roles of students and band members.
The series which airs from July 25, 2019, onwards, is a high-school musical drama revolving around the lives of Indian kids in a foreign setup and how they encounter their youth, dreams, aspirations, indulgence, influences and more in a first of its kind teenage musical that coins the chills of a thriller while billing itself like a pill on slice of life.
