The Great Weddings Of Munnes trailer: Abhishek Banerjee struggles to find a bride

The trailer of the series The Great Weddings Of Munnes begins with the lead character (Abhishek Banerjee) being compared to actor Salman Khan, whose single status is known to all. The only difference, however, is that the latter is a bachelor by choice.

Despite his best efforts, Munnes can’t find a potential bride and his friend is seen in the trailer telling a man, ‘Agar aap skirt pehenke aa jaaoge toh yeh aapse bhi shadi kar lega (if you wear a skirt and come, he might get married to you)'.

Talking about the show, Banerjee said, “While OTT offers an excellent platform to experiment, a show like this and a character so unique are truly rare.  I was eager to do a comedy and remember laughing uncontrollably during the script narration and instantly knew I was going to be a part of this show. The simple slice-of-life premise, coupled with raw humour makes The Great Weddings Of Munnes an entertaining watch. This is my first show with Raaj and I’m truly impressed with his clarity of thought and ability to draw out the best from every artist.”

The show, which also stars Barkha Singh, has been created by Dream Girl (2019) director Raaj Shandilyaa who recently also produced Janhit Mein Jaari. The tone of the show and the characters' rustic accents hark back to the films he has been associated with.

This is the director-producer’s first foray into the world of OTT and he says it couldn’t have been with a better show than The Great Weddings Of Munnes. “I couldn’t have asked for a better show to debut with, in the OTT universe. In the midst of numerous crime and thriller shows, in my first collaboration with Jio Studios, we were keen to create a memorable comic series for the family mounted on a Bollywood-like scale. That seamless connect reflects in the final product, where the chemistry and comic timing of every character is just unbelievable. I am so grateful to my cast and crew for bringing alive our vision so well!”

The Great Weddings Of Munnes will be released on Voot on 4 August.
