Shreyas Talpade to topline a comedy drama on SAB TV

If reports are to be believed, Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade, who is popular for tickling audiences’ funny bones with his performances in the Rohit Shetty-directed blockbuster franchise Golmaal, is gearing up to make a comeback on the small screen after a huge gap.

The actor, who started his acting career with television by appearing in Marathi and Hindi soaps, has been approached to headline an upcoming comedy-drama series, to be aired on SAB TV.


Some insiders inform that the yet-to-be-titled show will be a comedy-drama. It has been planned as a finite series. Since the series is at an initial stage, makers are keeping mum about any development.

Besides Shreyas Talpade, we hear that Archana Puran Singh and her husband Parmeet Sethi have also joined the cast of the show.

More details are awaited.

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
