Mumbai, March 25 Prime Video announced its new original series, "Maa Ka Sum," on Wednesday, starring versatile actor Mona Singh and Mihir Ahuja, known for "The Archies," in the lead roles.
Directed by Nicholas Kharkongor and produced by Babita Ashiwal under Eunoia Films, the eight-episode lighthearted drama follows the relationship between a single mother and her 19-year-old son, built on friendship and mutual trust.
The show, which will premiere on Prime Video on April 3, is written by Ravinder Randhawa and Sumrit Shahi. It also features Angira Dhar and Ranveer Brar in important roles.
The show centers on Agastya (Ahuja), a bright math prodigy in his late teens, who sees the world through graphs, numbers, and algorithms.
"For him, every problem has a logical solution, even finding the perfect partner for his single mother Vinita (Singh). This is where the story unfolds: 'Project Mom: Equation or Emotion?' But what begins as Agastya's carefully crafted plan soon turns into a quirky and heartwarming journey, where logic clashes with real emotions, unexpected encounters, and the unpredictability of life.
"With humor, warmth, and a touch of math, 'Maa Ka Sum' offers a fresh and layered perspective on the mother-son dynamic," according to the official synopsis.
Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals at Prime Video India, said the series captures the mother-son bond "with a rare freshness and emotional depth."
“Stories rooted in relationships have a timeless appeal because they reflect emotions and bonds that feel deeply universal... This series captures the tenderness, friction, and quiet understanding of this bond in an honest and deeply relatable way. Mona and Mihir are terrific in their roles,” he said in a statement.
Producer Ashiwal said the series is rooted in humor and "the little lessons we all learn while figuring out life."
"Maa Ka Sum" will be available for streaming in Hindi, with subtitles in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
