For Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty, life seems to be moving back on track after a tough phase. Almost seven years after her world changed following the death of her boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput, she is returning to acting.

On Tuesday evening, Rhea attended the Next On Netflix event in Mumbai, where it was announced that the Jalebi actress will soon be seen in a new series titled Family Business. The show also stars Anil Kapoor and Vijay Varma in lead roles and is set to release later this year.

Rhea also shared a short teaser from the series on her Instagram Stories. Along with it, she wrote, "7 years later...."

The teaser gives a first look at Anil Kapoor as the head of a multi-billion-dollar company, while Vijay Varma plays a loyal and hardworking employee. The story takes a sharp turn when Kapoor fires Varma, leading to a power struggle inside the company. The clash between business and family becomes the central theme of the series.

The release date for the series hasn't been announced yet.

Rhea's life changed after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, in 2020. The actress was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau in September that year over alleged links with drug peddlers. She was granted bail shortly thereafter.

In subsequent years, Rhea stayed away from acting. She started a podcast and also appeared as a gang leader on MTV Roadies.
