Elli EvrRam confirms to be hosting The Great Indian Laughter Challenge!

Recently, we reported about ace comedian Sunil Grover making his comeback to comedy with The Great Indian Laughter Challenge on Star Plus. Reportedly, Grover replaced model-turned-actress Elli EvrRam to be a part of the soon-to-be-launched show.

But Elli has exclusively confirmed to Eastern Eye that she is very much a part of the show and that she has not been replaced by anyone. When we recently caught up with the actress at the Sony Pictures Networks India office and asked her if the reports of her being replaced by Sunil Grover on The Great Indian Laughter Challenge are true, she said, "I don't know where the news has come from. But, first of all, I would love to say that Sunil is hilarious. He is really, really funny. But as far as I know, I am doing the show."


When we asked the gorgeous Swedish Greek actress if she has shot for any episode with the team, she added, "No, we are just preparing first right now. But I am hosting the show."

Elli is also in new for her foot-tapping new item number in the upcoming film Poster Boys, starring Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Shreyas Talpade. Produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions, Sunny Sounds Pvt. Ltd. and Affluence Movie Pvt. Ltd, the film is scheduled to release on 8th September 2018.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
