Disney Plus Hotstar dropped a trailer of an upcoming project named Taaza Khabar early this morning. It is the first look with Bhuvan Bam in the lead role. Unlike the funny and witty roles that Bam has essayed in the past, his part in Taaza Khabar looks like a rather serious one. According to the trailer and the caption of the post, it’s clear that Bam plays the role of Vasya, whose destiny had some other plans for him. Like a general man, he also wanted a house, car, and partner but things changed for him.
Directed by Himank Gaur, this story is set in Mumbai. It revolves around the life of a sanitation worker. Apart from Bam, there are a few other popular names as well in this show like Shriya Pilgaonkar, Deven Bhojani, and Parthamesh Parab. As soon as the trailer dropped, the conversation took a turn, and here’s what fans had to say about it:
The show marks Bam’s OTT debut, and in a statement released via the platform, he said, “I mark a new milestone in my career with Disney+ Hotstar with a story that is packed with action, emotion, and life’s comedy. My character, Vasya’s story, brings out the ironies of society in a manner that makes you wonder about the ways magic and miracles happen. Also, this new avatar is completely different from all the roles I have taken up.”
Apart from this, the platform released two more teasers of Aar Ya Paar and Lootere. Aar Ya Paar is a story about a tribal man and is being directed by Yeh Kaal Kaali Ankhein’s director Siddharth Sengupta. In a statement, he said, “Unique stories are finding their way to viewers, and I am excited for my first association with Disney+ Hotstar to bring to the forefront Aar Ya Paar’s distinct tale. It takes me back to the familiar waters of the episodic format of narrating a story, which I enjoy the most. The fact that this series walks a fine line between action and drama makes it a captivating watch. Excited to see how viewers react to it.”
On the other hand, Lootere is about a family of Bihar who relocates to Kenya, shortly after which ethnic conflicts begin to happen. Speaking of his association with the project, director Hansal Mehta said, “This association with Disney+ Hotstar is a special one for two reasons: One, it is directed by my son Jai. Two, Disney+ Hotstar as a platform is known to bring to life some amazing and out-of-the-box stories. Lootere explores a story of the survival and struggle of a crew of a merchant ship at a time when hope is blurring. We are excited to bring this thrilling story to the audience very soon.”
