Actress Tanya Maniktala, best known for her roles in ‘Kill’ and ‘A Suitable Boy’, is set to charm audiences with her latest project, ‘The Pickle Factory’. This lighthearted workplace-family dramedy, consisting of 10 episodes, will premiere on December 31, 2024, on Prasar Bharati’s WAVES OTT platform, offering viewers a perfect binge-watch for the New Year’s weekend.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Dehradun, ‘The Pickle Factory’ weaves the story of Mahika, a young intern in a family-run pickle business. Played by Maniktala, Mahika’s journey captures the highs and lows of workplace dynamics, her bonds with quirky colleagues, and the challenges that help her discover the essence of friendship and family.

Produced by Aarrav Jindal under Euphoria Productions, ‘The Pickle Factory’ is a Dice Media creation, directed by Vishwajoy Mukherjee. The show is a testament to Dice Media’s ability to deliver meaningful storytelling wrapped in a lighthearted narrative.
Maniktala’s star has been on the rise since her acting debut in 2018. She gained recognition in the OTT space with Flames and solidified her presence with ‘A Suitable Boy’, where she shared the screen with Ishaan Khatter. Her career further expanded with appearances in Netflix’s ‘Feels Like Ishq’, Sony LIV’s ‘Chutzpah’, and her Hindi film debut in ‘Mumbaikar’ alongside Vijay Sethupathi and Vikrant Massey.
This series marks a significant addition to WAVES, Prasar Bharati’s recently launched OTT platform. Designed to cater to a diverse audience, WAVES is quickly establishing itself as a hub for original Indian content.
As ‘The Pickle Factory’ drops on December 31, it promises to be an engaging and heartfelt series that resonates with audiences, capturing the charm of familial bonds and workplace camaraderie.
