Star Bharat introduces “Excuse Me Maadam” from September 2020
MUMBAI: Get ready to witness Excuse Me Maadam from 14 September, 2020 only on Star Bharat. This year has been challenging enough for the audiences while some are bogged down by the lockdown, others catching up with the new normal. Turning the tide and by turning a new page of entertainment Star Bharat, the popular Hindi General Entertainment Channel is here to rescue. With the recent launch of their show, ‘Akbar Ka Bal… Birbal’ and a one of a kind comedy show ‘Gangs of Filmistaan’ the channel has gained praises and appreciation from its viewers. The channel has been sending a lot of positivity and happiness to their viewers with its new shows and talented actors who are indeed the true entertainment warriors. With these two new offerings, the channel is now gearing up for the premiere of their much-awaited show ‘Excuse Me, Madam’.
Produced by Edit II Productions their soon to release show Excuse Me Maadam is all set to enthrall its viewers. The show is based on the lives of around three unique characters, Sanam played by the powerhouse of talent Rajesh Kumar, Kranti played by the beautiful Sucheta Khanna and Madam played by the gorgeous Nyra Banerjee. It’s a fun story revolving around Sanam who falls head over heels over his Madam. The show is said to take its audience on a ride of laughter, strange happenings, accidents, coincidences, hits and misses, desires, failures and above all, the wild fantasies of Sanam, which never get fulfilled. The show also stars seasoned comedian Anup Upadhyay, versatile actor Vishwanath Chatterjee and beautiful Sapna Sikarwar.
Bollywood actor Rajesh Kumar said, “The storyline of the show and the character of Sanam attracted me the very first time I read the script and that’s what got me to take the role immediately. Sanam’s character is unique and it lets me explore two vivid personalities. As I said, a faithful husband and his mischievous side which is channeled by the sight of his boss. It gives me freedom as a performer and the opportunity to provide justice to both the sides of my character. It is a very interesting combo that the viewers may relate to and will be fun for them to watch.”
When spoken to the stunning diva, Nyra Banerjee, she said “This is my first time working in a comedy show and I feel now is the right time to explore this genre because I believe treating people with positive content is the need of the hour. Mithu’s character is different from the previous roles that I have portrayed. She is an independent woman who is driven by ambition and is extremely focused on her work but given her sexy looks, her employees can’t help themselves. Her character is powerful and this lets me explore a bold side to me as a performer. It’s been great fun shooting for this show so far and I am sure it will be great to see the response the audience will have for the show.”
When spoken to the talented actor Sucheta Khanna, she said, “Television has always been a comfortable platform for me and being a part of the industry for two decades this show is indeed a breath of fresh air. She is very reserved by nature and is like any other housewife. The show brings an interesting take in life with a touch of comedy that will bring in laughter on the faces of audiences’. As an actor, I have always looked for more versatile roles and “Excuse Me Maadam” has provided me with an opportunity to do so.”
“Excuse Me Maadam” is going to be a roller-coaster ride of happiness, coincidences, hidden desires and surely everything packed with a laughter riot.
Tune in to watch "Excuse Me Maadam" starting 14 September every Monday to Friday at 8.30pm only on Star Bharat
