Shweta's new comedy show on Filmy...article!!


Filmy launches its first comedy show Jigar Ma Badi Aag Hai

Media News
Mumbai, September 28, 2007

Neena Gupta and Kanwaljeet make a comeback!

In India , there is only one primary passionBollywood. Every Indian at some phase in their lives has aspired to be an actor. FILMY, India's youngest Hindi movie channel has tuned into the masses and turned that passion into a hit new television comedy show titled, Jigar Ma Badi Aag Hai!

The show revolves around six characters, who're very FILMY and thus entertaining. Each have their own agenda behind making an appearance on the big screen. With that thought in mind, they begin including the strange ways of showbiz into their lives. That packs the show with practical, everyday humour.. unintentional and thus rib tickling.

The big surprise package of the show are Neena Gupta and Kanwaljeet, who've made their comeback with this show, and also for the first time in comic roles! Back after a sabbatical of almost ten years, each still has the capacity to light up the small screen with their presence!

The story is about three boys Lallan (Sunil Grover), Raj Rahul Malhotra (Sachin Sharma) and Arjun (Kiku), who live together in a rented apartment in Mumbai. Sushmita (Neena Gupta) is their landlady whose only source of income is the rent from the trio. Inderjit Abhimanyu Singh (Kanwaljeet) is a friendly neighbour who harbours an unspoken affection for Sushmita. Pushpa (Shweta Gulati), Sushmita's daughter is the much desired girl and many a love stories revolve around her. Each of the 6 are striving to achieve their goals, each with a passion for something or someone, and you can say for each of them that sabke Jigar Ma Badi Aag Hai!

Speaking about the show, Suchita Shah, Senior Supervisory Producer - FILMY said, "FILMY has always strived to entertain the masses through innovative film based programming, be it movie jockeys like Lallan or original software like Kaun Banega Champu and Rokkky's 99. Jigar Ma Badi Aag Hai! is one such show, which in a humorous way, covers the impact of a phenomena called Bollywood, on the lives of every Indian. With clichéd Hindi film plots and dialogues that have acquired cult status over the years, and with music and treatment that is 100% FILMY, Jigar Ma Badi Aag! is an out an out comedy show, that could not have been anywhere else but on FILMY!"

Lallan's character, played by Sunil Grover, has now been taken to the next level, on the channel, through this show, with him having moved into a flat and with new flatmates. He's still the simpleton from Jaunpur whose only dream in life is to become a super hit 'Hero' in Bollywood. Says Sunil, " All the characters in the show have a passion for something or someone, and that passion or aag has translated itself in the script in a very Bollywood style, which the audiences are surely going to enjoy. The timing of the comedy and the casting of the characters in the show is brilliant."

Neena Gupta plays Sushmita, who is also known as Umrao Jaan in the show, because she was screen-tested for the lead role, for Rekha's Umrao Jaan in 1981, but unfortunately she got married to 'Colonel sa'ab' and her dream of becoming Umrao Jaan stayed just a dream. Says Neena, "This is a very different role I am playing compared to my earlier assignments. I believe that if an actor enjoys his work then so will the audience, as it shows in the performance. I have really enjoyed myself during the shoot and I'm sure the FILMY audiences too will enjoy once they see the final product on air! "

Inderjit Abhimanyu Singh aka IAS is played by Kanwaljeet. His character in the show, is the only one which is against the popular culture of Bollywood, but turns surprisingly FILMY every time he encounters 'Sushmita', for whom he harbours an unspoken, yet obvious affection. He is a failed IAS candidate and works as a librarian to earn a living. When asked his opinion on the show, Kanwaljeet said, "Jigar Ma Badi Aag Hai is a great show and I'm confident that the concept, the comedy and characters will go down really well with the viewers."

Arjun is acted out by Kiku Sharda who is obsessed by music. He ran away from home to become the next R. D. Burman. Unfortunately, whenever he tries to compose a song, someone has already made it 20 years back! Getting to compose music for a Hindi film is his only passion. At present he earns a living by singing people pay him 'not to sing'! Arjun states, "This is something I'm doing for the first time. I have been a Bollywood buff since childhood so I am thoroughly enjoying the experience of this Bollywood based comedy show. I am sure the public will react positively to this show as it is quite different from earlier shows and the situational FILMY dialogues are something that they can relate to, ."


Shweta Gulati plays the role of Pushpa - the beautiful and attractive daughter of the landlady, and thus by default the object of Raj and Arjun's desire. Shweta says, "This is a mad show. It is full of FILMY fun and I hope the audience enjoys it 'cuz we are putting in a lot of effort to make it a laughable experience."

The last of the roommate trio is Raj Rahul Malhotra played by Sachin Sharma . His name is Raj, only Raj. But since SRK was always successful wooing a girl in a film, when his name was Raj or Rahul, the character calls himself - Raj Rahul Malhotra. He claims to be a fashion photographer but he is just an ordinary photographer who clicks pictures at birthday parties and weddings. As part of the show he states, "This show is mind-blowin, and it has everything a Bollywood film has action, emotion and drama, and that is what makes it hilariously funny!"

Jigar Ma Badi Aag Hai! is scheduled to air every Sunday at 8.30 pm, starting October 14, only on FILMY.
