Two powerhouse performers, Diana Penty and Tamannaah Bhatia, are all set to headline the upcoming web series Do You Wanna Partner. Slated to premiere on September 12 on Prime Video, the show has already set the industry abuzz with its quirky concept, bold theme, and vibrant casting.
Backed by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment, the series promises to bring fun, sass, and a fresh dose of female-led storytelling to Indian streaming audiences.
A Story Rooted in Friendship & Hustle
Do You Wanna Partner revolves around two spirited best friends—Anahita (Penty) and Shikha (Bhatia)—who decide to launch their own craft beer start-up. At its heart, it’s a tale of friendship, ambition, and jugaad—but with a refreshing twist: women battling to carve their space in a male-dominated alcohol industry.
Johar described the series as:
“Audacious, vibrant, unapologetically fun. It captures the grit, heart, and hustle of women entrepreneurs breaking barriers in unconventional spaces.”
The trailer poster, featuring both leads in yellow-tinted sunglasses, has already sparked chatter for its cheeky energy and unapologetic vibe.

Why This Series Could Shake Things Up
This show isn’t just about comedy and cocktails. It’s a cultural statement: two women navigating sexism, ambition, and friendship in a space traditionally gatekept by men. Bollywood rarely dares to tackle entrepreneurship-driven stories with women at the forefront—making this series not just entertainment, but a rebellion in glossy packaging.
But here’s the provocative twist: Will Do You Wanna Partner just glamorize female entrepreneurship, or will it truly dissect the grind, rejection, and patriarchal barriers? With Karan Johar backing it, expect glitz, gossip, and emotional highs—but audiences may demand more than just “bubbly fun.”
Final Word
With Diana Penty’s elegance and Tamannaah Bhatia’s fiery charm, this series has the potential to be Prime Video’s next OTT hit. If it blends humor with hard truths, Do You Wanna Partner could be more than just another flashy streaming release—it could be a bold cultural marker.
