Comedian and actor Bhuvan Bam, known for his comedy channel BB Ki Vines on YouTube, will be seen in a completely different avatar in the upcoming Disney+ Hotstar web-series Taaza Khabar (2022).
The series marks Bam’s debut as a producer as he will be co-producing the series under his home production company, BB Ki Vines Production. He is also producing and starring in another web-series, a romantic comedy which also features veterans Rakesh Bedi and Atul Srivastava.
The teaser opens with action scenes as the voiceover talks about how a man's luck can change suddenly. We see a rain-soaked Bam with a deep gash on his face, along with a playful smile. He is also seen hanging out of a taxi and enjoying the wind in his hair, along with Shriya Pilgaonkar.
Set in Mumbai, the series is based on the life of a sanitation worker and depicts human desire to lead a better life.The rousing music sets a certain tempo to the teaser as we see glimpses of people getting beaten up and officious-looking characters as well.
The logline states, ‘Witness the story of magic and miracle’, making us wonder if the series features as element of fantasy in it.
The show is helmed by Himank Gaur, and also stars Shriya Pilgaonkar, JD Chakravarthy, Deven Bhojani, Prathmesh Parab, Nitya Mathur, Shilpa Shukla and Mithilesh Chaturvedi in pivotal roles.
The official release date of the series is yet to be announced. Watch the video and let us know if you would be keen to see the show.
