Squid Game gets its Indian version?

While there are various connections with Squid Game, the makers have not officially announced The Society as Indian Squid Game. Of course, this means that Munawar will not serve as the Frontman, originally played by Lee Byung-hun, at least yet. However, the resemblances are hard to miss. But then again, it is too early to judge if there will be resemblances between Squid Game and The Society. The latter is scheduled to release on JioHotstar and can be streamed for free. However, the release date for the same is still under wraps.

Survival Thrillers to not miss

Munawar Faruqui made his web series debut with First Copy recently

After winning Kangana Ranaut's Lock Upp season 1 and Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 17, Munawar Faruqui made his web series debut. He did so with First Copy, a show about piracy. Unfortunately, he did not get noticed for the same, the way he would have liked to. However, The Society announcement video is sure to grab eyeballs, at least initially, for its concept appearing similar to Lee Jung-jae's Squid Game.

Squid Game comes to an end?

There is still an ongoing debate on whether Squid Game has actually come to an end. Although there were hints about Squid Game US version with Cate Blanchett making her cameo in the Korean series, the makers have not confirmed whether it is actually in the works. Nonetheless, there is buzz that Squid Game Universe is planned. If an Indian version comes in the mix, it would be interesting to see where things go.
