MUMBAI: Nineties super hit comedy series ’ is all set to make a reappearance on Sony SAB in a new avatar. The show, renamed Shrimaan Shrimati Phir Se, will premiere on 13 March with a fresh cast.
Rajan Waghdhare will direct the show who also directed the original sitcom on Doordarshan. Barkha Bisht will play the role of Prema Shalini known as Doll. Along with her, Suresh Menon, Samir Shah and Sucheta Khanna will join the cast.
The story of the show revolves around around the lives of two men who are neighbours and have a soft corner for each other’s wives and try their best to impress them. This leads to many awkward and hilarious situations as their hopeless and relentless attempts add to the humour quotient of the sitcom.
“In line with Sony SAB’s belief of ‘Haste Raho, India’, we bring to you a refreshed version of a classic TV series that brings back the same high-level comedy that made it a cult favourite, served with some new age flavours. Pure comedy never goes out of style, and that holds twice as true for a timeless show like Shrimaan Shrimati," senior EVP and head of SAB and MAX cluster channels Neeraj Vyas said.
“In its all-new avatar, Shrimaan Shrimati Phir Se is packed with nostalgia as an ensemble of versatile actors bring alive unforgettable characters in a contemporary setting. Waiting in the wings, this retelling of a classic is all set to entertain viewers all over again,” he added.
