Mallika Dua has been announced as a new cast member in season 2 of Hotstar’s The Office remake, which will begin streaming on September 15.

Mallika, whose acting credits include web series The Trip and Namastey England, said she enjoyed working on the series.

"I've had a great time working on the show and we couldn’t stop laughing during scenes because they were so funny... The show is innately Indian and humorously relatable. Bringing alive the essence of any type of Delhiite is always a fun experience and I hope I have managed to add more quirks to this already mad bunch," the actor said in a statement.

Set in Faridabad, the show chronicles the 9-to-5 lives of the employees at Wilkins Chawla, a paper company, as they navigate through their mundane routine that invariably gives rise to comical situations. Mukul Chaddha, Gopal Datt and Gauahar Khan will reprise their roles in the 15-episode mockumentary.

The show, co-directed by Rohan Sippy, has been created for Applause Entertainment by BBC Studios India.
