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.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
