Comedy fillers return on MAX

Sony MAX is bringing back its short comedy fillers ‘Bittu Bak Bak’ and ‘MAX Fully Deewana’ from this month throughout the day.

Formulated as spoofs on iconic scenes from Bollywood, the fillers will see known faces namely Krushna Abhishek and Bharti Singh share screen space with new additions comprising of comedians Vikalp Mehta and Sugandha Mishra guaranteed to double the comedy quotient.

This year audiences will be in for a treat with 60 rib tickling filmy gags which will see a few changes. For instance, ��Bittu Bak Bak�۪ the quintessential classroom setup will now have comedian Krushna Abhishek don the role of a lady teacher ��� Rosy Ma�۪am. Mischievous and incorrigible student ��Bittu�۪ played by Bharti Singh develops a crush on the new teacher. ��Max Fully Deewana�۪, on the other hand, encapsulates the essence of the channel- ��Deewana Bana De�۪ by showcasing hilarious spoofs on some of the most iconic scenes of Bollywood. The filmy gags will feature comedians Krushna Abhishek, Bharti Singh, Vikalp Mehta and Sugandha Mishra play out memorable scenes from Bollywood in a comic manner.

Commenting on the new series of ��Bittu Bak Bak�۪ is different from last year, comedian Krushna Abhishek says, ���The new series of ��Bittu Bak Bak�۪ features a new character – a lady teacher. Earlier Bittu was taught by a male teacher with whom he shared a ��tom and jerry�۪ kind of a relationship. However, Bittu has developed a crush on the female teacher and shares a better rapport with her. Similarly with ��Fully Deewana�۪, we have done a lot of new spoofs on recent movies like ��Kick�۪ and ��Tanu Weds Manu Returns�۪.�۝

Talking about entertaining people through the two- minute comedy fillers, comedian Bharti Singh says, ���We do not want viewers to go anywhere between movies and thus, this concept of the comedy fillers helps keep them glued to their TV sets. It just makes their television watching experience a lot more entertaining.�۝

Commenting on the challenges of filming for these comedy fillers, she added, ���This is very different from the usual comedy that I do where I have more time but over here I have to explain everything in 2 minutes. It includes a lot of impromptu performance. It�۪s very challenging for me because we are stand-up comedians and at times even one hour is not enough for us. However, having said that performing on these two minute fillers is a lot of fun.�۝

Stressing on the importance of comedy fillers in between movies, Neeraj Vyas, Sr. EVP Business Head, MAX and MAX2, stated, ���For a channel which provides its viewers with a wide assortment of movies, Sony MAX has always aimed at going beyond movies to entertain its viewers and give them that little extra to keep them coming back to the channel. Comedy fillers are a novel concept and outright funny which also acts as a stress buster for the viewers.�۝
