[roh_style]

MUMBAI: Star One is launching a sitcom Paani Puri on 30 August. The show to air at 9 pm will replace The Great Indian Laughter Challenge 4 (TGILC) on Saturdays. With the launch of Paani Puri, Star One's driver show TGILC 4 will be made weekly instead of bi-weekly.

Produced by Optimystix, the sitcom is set against a backdrop where two families who hail from diverse cultures and backgrounds come to live under one roof, to cause mayhem and chaos.

Star One EVP Ravi Menon said, “Comedy as a genre has done extremely well and is now the backbone for most of the shows. Star One has pioneered comedy on television and has always presented audiences with the best quality entertainment. With this show as well we are promising to create a rage. The simplicity of the story and the characters will surely take the viewer’s through a joy ride.”

The sitcom is about a Punjabi, middle class Puri family, which believes that the human voice is a gift of god and must be used in variable octaves generously.

The Puri family is pitted against the sophisticated Paani family which feels that the human voice is the sound of the human mind and therefore one should utter any kind of sound only for a purpose. The two sets of parents make ample efforts to convince the newly married couple that Paani and Puri is an explosive blend.
