Big Magic, poised to be the ultimate comedy destination from
Reliance Broadcast Network Limited revamps its flagship show Akbar Birbal as
Hazir Jawab Birbal, bringing in freshness and innovation with quirky, cutting
edge, relatable and youthful content. The channel has roped in popular TV
personality Gaurav Khanna to portray the character of Birbal, the protagonist
of the show. Launching on 17th August, Hazir Jawab Birbal will air daily from
Monday - Friday at 9 pm. Triangle Films will continue as producers and the show
will be shot on the gorgeous set which was redone recently.
A strong and powerful character, Birbal will act as an agent
of change, a reformist as identified with today’s world, targeting solutions
and transparency in governance issues, a strong central character who believes
in democratic views and rights. Hazir Jawab Birbal will feature a younger
Akbar, who wants to make his own decisions (even if they may be wrong), live
life and rule on his own terms. Only one person encourages and allows him to do
so - his biggest ally, his biggest critic, his friend, philosopher and guide,
Birbal.
In the last one year, Akbar Birbal has grown tremendously
and is recognized as BIG Magic’s most renowned shows. Popular for its unique
content and stellar star cast, it featured some of the best comedians from the
industry like Kiku Sharda, Delnaaz Irani, Vishal Kotian amongst others, who
contributed greatly to the show’s popularity and growth.
Elaborating on the new concept of the show, Mr. Paritosh
Painter, Network Creative Director, Reliance Broadcast Network Limited said,
“In our endeavour to provide fresh new content to our viewers, we have decided
to revamp Akbar Birbal, one of our highest rated shows on BIG Magic. Renamed as
Hazir Jawab Birbal, this new show will be relatable, fresh, surprising and
unpredictable with a high degree of humour. Respected and hugely popular stars
like Kiku Sharda, Delnaaz Irani, Vishal Kotian amongst others have made this
show iconic and the No. 1 show on the channel. By introducing a new, younger
star cast as Gaurav Khanna, our focus will continue to build popular iconic
characters which are stand out, quirky and funny.”
