Shreyas Talpade confirms fiction debut on TV

A couple of days ago, we had informed readers that Hindi and Marathi film actor Shreyas Talpade, who is best remembered for playing Laxman in Rohit Shetty’s successful film franchise Golmaal (2006), is gearing up to make his fiction debut on television.

Now, the actor has himself confirmed the news, saying that he is really excited for his upcoming show, titled My Name Ijj Lakhan.


"I am very excited to make my fiction television debut with My name Ijj Lakhan. I am looking forward to playing the role of Lakhan and I hope that viewers love me in this all-new dynamic action-emotional-comedy avatar on television," Shreyas said in a statement.

The dramedy show revolves around a young goon who is trying his best to reform his ways. Talpade plays the goon who believes that only rough and tough people can survive in this world, while his father keeps telling him that all is good in the world. How Laxman has a change of heart and what all he ends up doing to become a gentleman is what the audience will see in the show.

My Name Ijj Lakhan is expected to hit the airwaves on SAB TV in 2019.

Why celebrity chat shows remain India’s favourite way to peek behind the curtain

Highlights:

  • Chat shows let us see stars up close.
  • It’s not gossip, it’s small personal moments.
  • Simi, Karan, and Kapil all changed the style.
  • OTT and regional shows give more relaxed chats.
  • Audiences keep watching because stars feel real.

So, Kajol and Twinkle Khanna’s show, Two Much, is already near its fourth episode. And people keep asking: why do we love watching stars sit on sofas so much? It’s not the gossip. Not really. We’re not paying for the gossip. We’re paying for the glimpse. For the little wobble in a voice, a tiny apology, a family story you recognise. It’s why Simi’s white sofa mattered once, why Karan’s sofa rattled the tabloids, and why Kapil’s stage made everyone feel at home. The chat show isn’t dead. It just keeps changing clothes.
