In June, IANS had announced that Scandinavian producers Roope Lehtinen and Mikko Polla's crime drama hit "Black Widows" is all set for an Indian adaptation, narrating a darkly comic story of three best friends who try to kill their abusive husbands. The Indian version would be the eighth international remake of the show, following versions in Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania, the Middle East, Mexico, Scandinavia and the Czech Republic.

While the original starred Beate Bill, Cecilia Forss and Synnove Macody Lund, the cast of the Indian version was yet to be revealed back then.
