Netflix India, as part of revealing its 2026 lineup of original shows and movies, today released the first look of the web series Family Business, which marks a head-to-head showdown between Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma. The series centers on a high-stakes corporate battle, featuring a family tycoon war between visionary billionaire Jeh Davar (Anil Kapoor) and rising tycoon Sid Mehta (Vijay Varma). In the show, Jeh Davar grooms Sid Mehta to take over India’s largest conglomerate as his successor. However, tensions rise when Sid’s character is abruptly fired, triggering a no-holds-barred succession battle that becomes personal.
Co-created by Hansal Mehta (their second collaboration with Netflix after the hit crime drama Scoop in 2024) and Niren Bhatt (the writing genius behind films like Bala, Stree 2 and Bhediya), Family Business is supposedly an adaptation of the infamous American drama series Billions. The first look promo, approximately two minutes long, gives audiences a taste of the intense showdown, showing Anil and Vijay facing off for legacy and power. As Anil declares, “This is war,” Vijay responds with equal intensity, “I am bringing down Jeh Davar.”
The show centers on a high-stakes corporate succession battle between the two actors.
But the most surprising moment of the promo comes at the end, when Vijay’s character warns Anil that he will regret firing him, to which Anil applauds and says: “Jo repentance karte hai woh baith kar biography likhte hai, history nahi” (Those who regret sitting down to write a biography, not a history).
