Comedian and influencer Bhuvan Bam is making his OTT debut with Disney Plus Hotstar series Taaza Khabar. The trailer of the show, released on Tuesday, features Bhuvan as a sanitation worker Vasant, who is hustling to get up the financial ladder. We also catch a glimpse of Vasant romancing Shriya Pilgaonkar’s character in the promo.
The trailer showcases a darker and grittier Mumbai, in which Bhuvan’s Vasant is seen trying to push his limits to achieve his long-held goals.
The official synopsis of Taaza Khabar reads, “A gritty comedy-drama series set in South Mumbai, it is seen from the perspective of a shauchalaya worker, Vasant Gawde, aka Vasya, whose mundane and poverty-stricken life turns upside down when a simple dua from a good deed gives him surreal powers. Along with his tight-knit squad of friends, he uses his newfound super-power to master his own destiny until karma beckons again.”
Speaking about the show, Bhuvam, who is also co-directing it, said in a statement, “Taaza Khabar is a complete entertainer with elements of action, drama and romance. The show captures the ups and downs of human wishes and wants. This is also my digital debut with Disney+ Hotstar, which is a special feeling in itself and the love I have received for this is unimaginable, especially from my co-stars. Everyone on set was an expert at their job but it was a first for me and I’m thankful for all the relationships I cultivated on set. We have worked with all our hearts to bring this story to life and all I can say is viewers can expect anything and everything from this show.”
Taaza Khabar will start streaming from January 6 on Disney Plus Hotstar.
