Sony to launch futuristic comedy show from 31 August
MUMBAI: In a bid to expand its prime time programming fare, Sony Entertainment Television is all set to launch a new futuristic comedy show titled 2025 Jaane Kya Hoga Aagey.
The show will hit television screens on 31 August and will be aired from Monday to Friday at 9:30 pm.
Produced by Optimystix Entertainment, the comic caper will give the world a glimpse of what life would be like a decade from now.
Set in 2025, the show revolves around the eccentric Joshi family based in Mumbai.
2025 Jaane Kya Hoga Aagey stars Sanyukta Timsina, Sunil Barve, Kenny Desai, Akhlaque Khan and Clair Monica amongst others.
Naisha played by Sanyukta Timsina, the daughter of the family, is a computer genius. After her mother Ganga’s untimely demise, her father Inder played by Sunil Barve misses her terribly. The entire Joshi family is not able to get over her death so Naisha decides to bring an end to their misery. She uses technology to bring her back to life by creating a 3D hologram of her mother. With the technological rebirth of Ganga, the family struggles to deal with the sudden changes that life has to offer.
Adding to the fun quotient is the eldest member of the family, Dadaji played by Kenny Desai, who is the youngest at heart. He is completely techno-savvy and is often seen replacing his old body parts with new ones. Naisha’s brother, Naveen (Akhlaque Khan) often referred to as Nano, is crazy about nanotechnology. His obsession leads him to invent an additional hand which does all his chores. Adding spice is the maid, Monica (Clair Monica), who prefers the term ‘Domestic Help’ and comes with a high price tag, lots of attitude and never ending demands.
As age is no bar, each member will unapologetically display their quirks in the most nonchalant manner which will have the audience in splits. 2025 Jaane Kya Hoga Aagey will be where relationships, emotions and technology come together in harmony.
