Known for creating some of Indian television’s most loved comedy shows, including FIR and Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, Edit II is set to bring a refreshing romantic comedy, ‘Rafoo’, starring Maniesh Paul and Angira Dhar, soon to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Announced as part of the platform’s recent slate announcement event, the series marks an exciting addition to its upcoming lineup. Produced by Sanjay Kohli, Binaiferr Kohli, and Vihaan Kohli, and directed by Shashank Bali, Rafoo blends humor, chaos, and contemporary relationship dynamics into an engaging narrative.
Penned by Raghuvir Shekhawat, Shashank Bali, Sanjay Kohli, Zeenat Lakhani, and Vihaan Kohli, Rafoo weaves together humor, nostalgia, tension, and unresolved emotions into a deeply relatable narrative. The series follows the story of a struggling singer, played by Maniesh Paul, whose already complicated life takes an unexpected turn when he ends up living with his ex-mother-in-law, while his successful ex-wife, portrayed by Angira Dhar, resides just upstairs with her new partner. As their lives continue to overlap, the line between past and present begins to blur, complicating what they thought was over.
Speaking about the upcoming series Rafoo, Nikhil Madhok, Head of Indian Originals, Amazon Prime Video, praised the producers for bringing the story to the platform. He said, “The pitch for this show was presented by Vihaan, and we were absolutely sold from the very first narration. Congratulations, Vihaan.” Adding to the excitement, filmmaker Karan Johar shared his enthusiasm for the series and gave a special mention to Agira Dhar, saying, “This is amazing. One member of your cast is special to me for various reasons, but mainly because we are twin birthday soulmates, we are born on the same day. So I’m rooting a little extra heart for this one.”
Vihaan Kohli, Head of Content & Producer, Edit II shares his thoughts on the same, saying, “We’re really excited to collaborate with Amazon Prime Video on our upcoming series ‘Rafoo’ and bring this story to a larger audience. Having Maniesh Paul and Angira Dhar on board has been wonderful as they bring so much heart and honesty to their characters.

Maniesh Paul, Lead Cast of Rafoo, shares his views on collaborating with Edit II, saying,
“It feels more than a collaboration, honestly. Edit II has given us some of the most memorable creations, including Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, FIR, and May I Come in Madam? all of which have just made their way into the audience’s hearts. For me, this collaboration feels like an extension of comedy as a whole, offering the genre through a different perspective but keeping the essence and laughter intact. With everything that I have done so far, I believe that the audience has enjoyed it, they’ve had a hearty time, so I feel I’m on the right path when my work brings joy to several faces.”
With its unique premise and relatable characters, Rafoo offers a fresh take on love, relationships, and second chances.
