Talking about the casting of Sunflower, co-directors Vikas Bahl and Rahul Sengupta said in a statement, “Casting was the most fun part in the initial process for Sunflower. We knew that this is a plot as well as a character-driven show, and hence it was important to have the right people to represent the conservative yet quirky society members that call Sunflower home.”

They added, “It has been a joy ride shooting with our talented ensemble cast right from Sameer, Ashish, Girish, Ranvir, Mukul, Shonali, Sonal to Radha, Ashwin, Saloni, Dayana, Ria, Simran, Jyoti. They come together to form a melting pot of the weird yet unique characters that bring the series together.”

Produced by Reliance Entertainment and Good Co., Sunflower will begin streaming on ZEE5 in April.
