Mumbai: After a long hiatus from acting, Rhea Chakraborty is making a high-profile return with Netflix’s upcoming series Family Business. The announcement was made during the glitzy Next On Netflix event in Mumbai, where the actress shared a teaser on Instagram Stories simply captioned: “7 years later….”
The series promises a mix of corporate power plays, family drama, and personal betrayals. Anil Kapoor stars as the head of a multi-billion-dollar company, while Vijay Varma plays his loyal employee. Tensions rise when Kapoor’s character abruptly fires Varma, setting off a chain of events filled with business conflicts, ego clashes, and family secrets.
Rhea Chakraborty plays a pivotal role in this high-stakes drama, marking her first major acting project after several years away from the industry. While Netflix has not yet announced an official release date, Family Business is expected to stream later this year.
A challenging hiatus
Rhea’s career and life were dramatically impacted following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020. She faced intense public scrutiny and legal battles, including a brief arrest by the Narcotics Control Bureau. Although granted bail, the episode led to a prolonged hiatus from acting and public events.
During her time away from films, Rhea focused on rebuilding her life. She launched her own podcast and made a surprise appearance as a gang leader on MTV Roadies. Now, with Family Business, she is stepping back into the spotlight, signaling a major comeback in the OTT space.
With a compelling storyline, seasoned co-stars, and Rhea’s long-awaited return, Netflix’s Family Business is poised to be one of the most anticipated series of 2026.
