Sony SAB is launching a new sitcom titled Partners – Trouble Ho Gayi Double on November 28, which will run from Monday to Friday at 9.30pm.
The show attempts to give a fresh treatment to a buddy cop comedy series. With Indian comedy stalwarts like Johnny Lever and Kiku Sharda along with Vipul Roy in the show, the viewers are in for an epic entertainment extravaganza.
Partners – Trouble Ho Gayi Double revolves around the story of Inspector Manav Anang Desai, aka M.A.D and Inspector Aditya Dev who become cop partners at work to solve crimes together. Inspector Manav played by Kiku Sharda is a lazy and clumsy man but he thinks of himself as a very skilled and sharp police officer.
On the other hand, Inspector Aditya, enacted by Vipul Roy, is an intelligent, strong and devoted policeman. The duo is forced into forming a partnership as a part of the Special Investigation Team headed by Commissioner of Police, Gogol Chatterjee played by Johnny Lever.
Neeraj Vyas, Senior EVP and Head, Channel SAB, said, “Delivering on Sony SAB’s brand promise of ‘Haste Raho India’, we are excited to present a new and entertaining spectacle to our viewers with Partners – Trouble Ho Gayi Double. At Sony SAB, we are continuously attempting newer concepts and formats for our viewers. Partners – Trouble Ho Gayi Double, is one such buddy cop programme which shows how a mismatched cop duo solve serious crimes, balancing their competence with situational humour.”
Apart from solving cases and chasing criminals, Manav and Aditya have romantic aspirations for the Nadkarni sisters. Dolly Nadkarni (played by Shweta Gulati) is a café owner and is being pursued by Manav while her sister Ayesha Nadkarni (played by Kishwer Merchant) is a criminal lawyer, being pursued by Aditya. Adding some spice in this comic madness is Ashwini Kalsekar who plays their widowed mother, Neena Nadkarni. She is a social activist and a social media enthusiast. Neena eyes her long-lost college crush, Commissioner Gogol Chatterjee.
Paritosh Painter, Producer, IDEAS Entertainment, said, “Crime Comedy is one of the world’s favourite genres on TV but never sincerely attempted on Indian television so when SAB asked me to produce this concept that they had developed and gave me such a stellar cast to work with, it was an offer I couldn’t refuse! The viewers are going to enjoy the refreshing chemistry between all the characters in the show.”
