Doctors, a new medical drama set in a prestigious hospital, is slated to debut on JioCinema on December 27.
Starring Sharad Kelkar, Harleen Sethi, Aamir Ali, Viraf Patell and Vivaan Shah, the series follows a determined new resident who arrives at a medical center with a secret mission of retribution. Believing that her mentor, a celebrated neurosurgeon, is responsible for derailing her brother’s career, she sets out to settle the score.
As she and her mentor face problems together, however, she begins to uncover a side of him that challenges her convictions and her heart.
Doctors is produced by Jyoti Deshpande (Jio Studios) and Alchemy Films.
“As an actor, I love taking on new challenges and stepping out of my comfort zone, and Doctors truly provided that opportunity,” Kelkar said. “Portraying Dr. Ishaan Ahuja has been an exciting and fulfilling experience. He’s a complex character, shaped by his past, yet remains dedicated to his work as a doctor. I spent hours in workshops with real doctors, which gave me a deeper understanding of their work and the emotional challenges they face daily. I’m really looking forward to the audience watching the story and sharing their thoughts.”
Sethi commented, “Playing Dr. Nitiya Vasu has been an intense and rewarding journey for me. I remember when I first started preparing for the role—it wasn’t just about learning medical terms but really understanding the emotional depth of a character driven by passion, pain and purpose. Navigating her feelings in the high-pressure world of medicine was challenging but also very exciting. The whole experience has been a privilege. Doctors is a story about resilience, relationships and redemption, and I’m excited for the audience to join us on this emotional rollercoaster.”
Ali added, “Doctors has been quite a journey, both outwardly and inwardly. During the shoot, there were moments that made me reflect on how often we overlook the dedication, attention to detail and passion doctors bring to their work, and those experiences helped me bring the right emotions to the role. The show is perfect for a family binge-watch during the holidays, and I’m excited to see what the audience thinks of it.”
