Having done OTT films such as Drive (2019) and Mrs Serial Killer (2020), actor Jacqueliene Fernandez is set to mark her web series debut with the show G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time). We have exclusively learnt that the show, which also marks the OTT debut of actor Neil Nitin Mukesh, will have a musical setting, with Jacqueliene and Neil pitted against each other.

A source says, “Jacqueliene plays a dance mentor, while Neil plays a music mentor to the kids. The show will revolve around their rivalry. It is a musical and will feature an ensemble cast, including actors Siddharth Nigam and Sumedh Mudgalkar.”

The project is currently being shot in Mumbai. It holds a lot of importance for Neil, who hails from a musical background, with his dad Nitin Mukesh and late grandfather, Mukesh, being veteran musicians. The source says, “While Jacqueliene is an amazing dancer, Neil comes from a musical legacy. He plays the piano and this is the first time he is getting to honour his musical heritage on screen. He is quite excited.”
