Brazilian Drama Set for Indian Remake

In a deal with The Ripple Effect, India’s Karman Unlimited has optioned the remake rights to the Brazilian drama Love is a Stranger from Visom Digital.

The police drama, which explores gender violence, was created by Ingrid Zavarezzi and Carlos de Andrade. It premiered on AXN Brazil in October 2024 and is set to launch on Record TV this year.

“Love is a Stranger is a story that speaks to our deepest responsibility as storytellers—to shine light on issues that society too often overlooks,” said de Andrade, producer at Visom Digital. “We are proud that this Brazilian story will now find new life and meaning in dialogue with audiences around the world.”

“This series represents the kind of bold, purposeful storytelling that Karman Unlimited champions,” added Sunita Uchil, CEO of Karman Unlimited. “By collaborating with Visom Digital and The Ripple Effect, we are able to bring a socially urgent narrative to a wider stage, reaffirming the power of entertainment to inspire awareness and change.”

“This series is more than a police drama—it is a call to action against gender-based violence, a universal issue that affects every society,” said Viviana Hadid, executive VP of The Ripple Effect. “We are eager to bring it soon to other markets, especially Latin America, where sadly this story is all too familiar.”
