Paritosh Painter quits Reliance Broadcast Network

MUMBAI: Paritosh Painter, who was brought in as network creative director by Reliance Broadcast for radio channel 92.7 Big FM as well as television channel Big Magic, has quit. 

Painter will now be concentrating on his theatrical productions, film & TV writing.

Painter had created & written Akbar Birbal  for Big Magic, which is one of the channel’s biggest shows. He also helped create a number of shows for Big Magic & Big FM.

“Beside concentrating on his theatre and writing projects, the channel’s gradual shift towards non-fiction from fiction is also a reason behind Painter’s resignation,” said a source close to the development.

Having over 15 years of experience in the field of entertainment, Painter has directed over 23 plays in Hindi and English and has done 2500 shows across the globe. Besides this, he has scripted several Bollywood films like Dhamaal (2007), Paying Guest (2009) and All The Best: Fun Begins (2009). His repertoire also includes stand-up comedy, content development and producing shows on television.
